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

objectiveWe aimed to determine and compare HRV parameters in poorly and well controlled type 2 diabetes. 54 normotensive type 2 diabetes patients without clinical signs of CAN were enrolled; 29 poorly controlled (HbA1c ≥ 7%) and 25 controls matched for age, sex and BMI. HRV analysis was performed using 24-h ambulatory ECG, with automatic estimation of the time and frequency domain ranges. Comparisons were performed using Mann-Whitney test.

resultsWe included 54 participants (26 males) aged 56 years [43-62], with known duration of diabetes 3 years [1-7]. HbA1c was 10.1% [9.1-11.9] vs 5.3% [5.1-6.3] (p < 0.001). Blood pressure was 126 mmHg [121-130] vs 124 mmHg [113-133] in the poorly controlled group and the well-controlled group respectively (p = 0.5). 24-h mean heart rate was significantly higher in poorly controlled vs well controlled patients (79 bpm [77-83] vs 75 bpm [69-79], p = 0.006). In the time domain analysis, markers of the overall variability were lower and thus altered in the poorly controlled group (SDNN: 102 ms [90.5-111.1] vs 112.3 ms [104.4-131.2], p = 0.01 and SDANN 88 ms [72.9-99.7] vs 97.8 ms [91.8-114.5], p = 0.01). The frequency domain analysis showed trends towards lower values of sympathovagal balance markers in the poorly controlled group. Reduced HRV is associated with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus and may be an early marker in clinical practice.
