Association of abdominal aortic aneurysm diameter with insulin resistance index.
Article in Biochemia medica, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionEpidemiological studies have highlighted a negative association between diabetes and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between insulin resistance and AAA size. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective cross sectional monocentric study analysed fasting blood samples from 55 patients with AAA eligible for surgical repair. They were divided into 2 groups according to the median AAA diameter: diameter < 50 mm (N = 28) and diameter > 50 mm (N = 27). The median ages were respectively 73 years (62 - 79) and 72 years (67 - 81). Glucose and fructosamine concentrations were determined by spectrophotometry; insulin and C-peptide using chemiluminescent technology. Homeostasis model assessment 2 calculator was used to estimate insulin resistance index (HOMA2 IR).
resultsThere was no significant difference for fasting glucose concentration between the groups (6.1
conclusionThis study evidenced an association between AAA diameter and insulin resistance. Further studies are required to determine a causal link between insulin resistance and AAA development.
