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

purposeAdiponectin an adipokine, produced by mature adipocyte, has an important effect on several aspects of endothelial function, including leukocyte adhesion (mediated by adhesion molecules like intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) endothelial cell selective adhesion molecule ESAM). Recently, it has been linked to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-modulated angiogenesis. ESAM might also be involved in modulating VEGF-dependent actions. We studied relationship of adiponectin to ESAM, ICAM1, and VEGF in type 2 diabetic patients (T2DP) with or without microvascular complications.

methodsIncident T2DP referred for nephrologic evaluation were included (patients with no nephropathy or stage 1-4 nephropathy). T2DP with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) were selected from a dialysis center. Clinical, standard laboratory assessment and adiponectin, ESAM, ICAM1, and VEGF (ELISA) were recorded.

resultsEighty-seven patients were included, 15 had no CKD, 30 with stage 1 or 2 CKD, 20 with stage 3 or 4 CKD and 22 patients on dialysis. ESAM was higher in patients with CKD than in those without CKD (p = 0.02), adiponectin, ICAM1, and VEGF were similar. Adiponectin correlated in univariate analysis to ESAM (r = 0.32, p = 0.002), ICAM1 (r = 0.23, p = 0.038), and CRP (r = 0.31, p = 0.012), and inversely to serum albumin (r = - 0.57, < 0.0001). In predialysis patients, adiponectin also correlated to albuminuria (r = 0.54, p < 0.0001) and glomerular filtration rate (r = - 0.46, p = 0.0001). In multivariate regression ESAM (p = 0.04), VEGF (p = 0.03), and albumin (p < 0.0001) are significant predictors of adiponectin. None of these cytokines were different when comparing patients with and without retinopathy.

conclusionAdiponectin is directly linked to adhesion molecules and VEGF in T2DP.
