Presence of coronary artery disease in diabetic and non diabetic South Asian immigrants.
Article in Indian heart journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionSouth Asian Immigrants (SAIs) are the second fastest growing Asian immigrant population in the US, and at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes (diabetes) and coronary artery disease (CAD) than the general US population.
objectivesWe sought to determine in SAIs the; 1) the prevalence of CAD risk factors in diabetics and non-diabetics; and b) the high possibility of CAD in diabetic SAIs. We also assessed the prevalence of sub-clinical CAD in both diabetics and non-diabetics SAIs using common carotid artery Intima-media thickness (CIMT) as a surrogate marker for atherosclerosis.
methodsIn a cross-sectional study design, 213 first generation SAIs were recruited and based on the history, and fasting glucose levels were divided into two subgroups; 35 diabetics and 178 non-diabetics. 12-hour fasting blood samples were collected for glucose and total cholesterol levels. Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT) was performed to determine the possibility of CAD.
resultsBoth diabetics and non-diabetics SAIs in general, share a significant burden of CAD risk factors. The prevalence of hypertension (p=0.003), total cholesterol ≥200mg/dl (p<0.0001) and family history of diabetes (p<0.0001) was significantly was significantly higher in diabetics compared to non-diabetics. Of the 22/29 diabetic participants without known history of CAD, 45% had positive ETT (p<0.001). Similarly, 63.1% of diabetics and 51.8 % of non-diabetics were positive for sub-clinical CAD using CIMT as a marker.
conclusionThe susceptibility to diabetes amongst SAIs promotes an adverse CAD risk, as evident by this small study. Further research, including larger longitudinal prospective studies, is required to validate the current small study findings with investigation of the temporal association.
