Is it a supplementary benefit to use anti-inflammatory agents in the treatment of type 2 diabetes?
Article in BMC research notes, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate an independent correlation between high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) on one side and between hs-CRP and arterial pressure in well glucose controlled type 2 diabetics on the other side.
resultsThe mean of HbA1c was 6.37% in this study and 70.10% of participants had an HbA1c less than 7%. A positive correlation between hs-CRP and HbA1c was found in the current study (r = 0.232; P = 0.043) and we observed a decrease of 0.79% of HbA1c of the participants when their hs-CRP was less than 1 mg/l compared to that of the participants who had hs-CRP more than 1 mg/l (5.75 ± 1.25% VS 6.54 ± 1.42% P value = 0.04 Student). No correlation was found between hs-CRP and arterial pressure in this study. These results could justify the perspective use of anti-inflammatory drugs in the management of T2D. However the presence of participants with HbA1c levels greater than 7% makes plausible the influence of confounding factors on the observed correlations.
