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

backgroundRecent studies have shown osteocalcin (OC) plays an important role in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the association of OC with glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the Chinese Han and Uygur population.

methodsA total of 1397 T2DM patients (705 Han and 692 Uygur T2DM patients) were enrolled in the present study. Lipid profile, glucose metabolic indices and total OC (TOC) were measured. Homeostasis model assessment of β-cells function (HOMA-β), insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IS) and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were also calculated in all participants. Pearson/Spearman correlation analysis and multivariate stepwise regression analysis were adopted to test the relationships between OC and those parameters.

resultsUygur T2DM patients had significantly higher body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) and lower TOC compared with their Han counterparts (all P < 0.05). HbA1C was negatively associated with TOC in all Uygur and Han T2DM patients (Total: Uygur: t = -3.468, P = 0.001; Han: t = -4.169, P < 0.001). BMI was inversely associated with TOC in all Uygur T2DM patients (Males: t = -2.893, P = 0.014; Females: t = -2.250, P = 0.027, respectively). Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that TOC was positively correlated with HOMA-β in the Uygur male group (β = 2.101, P = 0.040) and negatively associated with BMI in all Uygur T2DM patients (Males: β = -1.563, P = 0.011; Females: β = -1.284, P = 0.016, respectively). No significant differences were observed between TOC and lipid profiles in all participants (all P > 0.05).

conclusionThere were differences in the associations between TOC and glucose metabolism in Han and Uygur T2DM patients, indicating genetic factors may play a role in modulating OC and glucose metabolism in different ethnic population.
