Association between angiopoietin-like protein 2 and lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 ligand containing apolipoprotein B in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Trial report in The Journal of international medical research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective This study was performed to evaluate the association of the serum level of angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) with circulating inflammatory markers and oxidized and modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol as evaluated by lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor 1 ligand containing apolipoprotein B (LAB) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods The study included 70 patients with type 2 diabetes hospitalized for glycemic control and 9 control subjects. Results The serum level of ANGPTL2 was significantly higher in the patients with type 2 diabetes than in the healthy controls. There was a significant positive correlation between ANGPTL2 and the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and LAB levels and a significant negative correlation between ANGPTL2 and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Conclusions These results suggest that the serum ANGPTL2 level has a close positive association with inflammatory markers, especially fibrinogen and oxidized and modified LDL as evaluated by LAB. The data also suggest that the serum ANGPTL2 level is influenced by renal function as reflected by the eGFR.
