Association of homocysteine with body mass index, blood pressure, HbA1c and duration of diabetes in type 2 diabetics.

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
objectiveTo determine the Homocysteine levels in type 2 diabetics and correlate homocysteine with HbA1c levels, BMI, blood pressure and duration of diabetes.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in Endocrinology Unit of Hayatabad Medical Complex (HMC) Peshawar and Rehman Medical Institute (RMI) Peshawar over a period of six months from July 2015 to December 2015. Data was recorded and analyzed in SPSS v 20. P value of less than 0.05 was taken as significant. Bivariate Pearson's correlation test was used to see the relationship between homocysteine and BMI, systolic BP and duration of diabetes.
resultsOne hundred twenty five patients were included in our study in which female were 68% and 32% were male with mean age of 51.45 ±8.37 years. Mean BMI expressed in kg/m
conclusionSystolic blood pressure and duration of diabetes showed a significant positive correlation with homocysteine. The correlation of homocysteine with HbA1c was not certain from researcher's point of view and further studies of larger sample size and longer duration must be conducted to ascertain the association between the two variables.
