Association of carotid intima-media thickness with exercise tolerance test in type 2 diabetic patients.

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
aimsAtherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease are more common in diabetic patients. Atherosclerosis process can disturb the normal functioning of the vascular endothelium and increase vessel wall thickness. The aim of this study was the comparison of Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) with Exercise tolerance test as an alternative way to evaluate cardiac ischemia in diabetic patients.
methodsIn a cross-sectional study, 30 diabetic patients with positive exercise test and 30 diabetic patients with negative exercise test were enrolled. CIMT of the carotid artery in both groups of patients was measured.
resultCIMT in the patients with positive and negative exercise test were 1.04 ± 0.21 mm and 0.61 ± 0.11 mm, respectively (P < 0.001). CIMT in positive exercise test group was positively associated with age and negatively associated with gender, FBS, HDL and LDL cholesterol and in negative exercise group was negatively associated with gender, age, FBS, HDL and LDL cholesterol.
conclusionConsidering observed significant positive association between CIMT with result of exercise tolerance test (ETT) in type 2 diabetic patients, it may possible to use CIMT as an inexpensive and non-invasive method for evaluation of ischemic heart disease in diabetic patients.
