Grading effect of abnormal glucose status on arterial stiffness and a new threshold of 2-h post-load glucose based on a Chinese community study.
Article in Journal of diabetes investigation, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
AIMS/
introductionTo investigate the relationship between various glucose metabolic status and arterial stiffness, and further explore the threshold of blood glucose indices for the risk of arterial stiffness. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe present cross-sectional study included 4,851 individuals from a Chinese community. Overnight fasting blood glucose and 2-h post-load glucose were sampled. Arterial stiffness was measured as brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity. The association was examined using generalized linear regression models. The threshold effect was explored using two piecewise linear regression models by the smoothing plot.
resultsAfter adjustment for covariates, isolated impaired fasting glucose, isolated impaired glucose tolerance, combined glucose intolerance and newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus were associated with a greater risk of arterial stiffness compared with normal glucose tolerance (B = 18.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.42-35.76, P = 0.045; B = 28.51, 95% CI: 3.40-53.62, P = 0.026; B = 60.70, 95% CI: 38.37-83.04, P < 0.001; B = 95.06, 95% CI: 71.88-118.25, P < 0.001, respectively). Furthermore, there was a non-linear relationship between 2-h post-load glucose and arterial stiffness. A threshold for 2-h post-load glucose of 6.14 mmol/L was observed for the risk of arterial stiffness.
conclusionsImpaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, combined glucose intolerance and newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus were related to a greater risk of arterial stiffness compared with normal glucose levels. A threshold for 2-h post-load glucose of 6.14 mmol/L probably exists for the risk of arterial stiffness.
