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

backgroundTo investigate changes in pancreatic elasticity in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). MATERIAL/

methodsThe study group consisted of 60 children with T1DM, and the control group was comprised of 60 healthy children. Strain ratios were obtained for the pancreas using ultrasound strain elastography (Toshiba Applio 500 device). Baseline descriptive data, hemoglobin A1c (%) level, time since diagnosis of T1DM (months), and strain ratio values were noted and compared between the 2 groups. Furthermore, correlation between strain ratio values and other variables was investigated.

resultsROC analysis yielded an optimal cut-off value of 2.245 (AUC=0.999, p<0.001, sensitivity=0.983, specificity=1.00) for the strain ratio. Strain ratio values greater than 2.245 were likely to be pathological, which could be attributed to increased tissue stiffness in T1DM. The strain ratio was significantly higher in T1DM patients than in the control group (3.38±0.66

conclusionsStrain elastography is a promising, safe, non-invasive, and practical method for early detection, long-term screening, and follow-up in children with T1DM.
