1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveNesfatin-1, belonging to adipokine family, serves as an anti-inflammatory mediator. We performed this investigation to evaluate the relation between serum and vitreous nesfatin-1 concentrations with diabetic retinopathy (DR).

methodsThis study was performed in a population of 189 diabetic patients and 48 control subjects. Diabetic patients were then divided into diabetic patients without DR, non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) patients, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients.

resultsSerum and vitreous nesfatin-1 concentrations were significantly lower in the diabetic patients than in the controls. NPDR patients had reduced vitreous nesfatin-1 concentrations compared with patients without DR. In addition, there were significantly lower serum and vitreous nesfatin-1 concentrations in PDR patients compared with the other three groups. Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum nesfatin-1 was negatively correlated with body mass index and fasting plasma glucose in diabetic patients.

conclusionSerum and vitreous nesfatin-1 concentrations were negatively correlated with DR.
