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

backgroundThe arterial velocity pulse index (AVI) has been explored as a novel marker of atherosclerosis using pulse wave analysis in the clinical setting. The aim of this study was to clarify the relationships between the AVI and biomarkers of cardiac or renal condition in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

methodsIn total, 301 outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (116 males and 185 females; mean age ± standard deviation: 63 ± 12 years) without a history of cardiovascular events were enrolled in this study. The AVI and biomarkers of cardiac or renal condition were measured using a commercial device, and the relationships between the AVI and the biomarkers were examined.

resultsThe AVI was significantly associated with biomarkers of cardiac condition such as the blood levels of brain natriuretic peptide (

conclusionThe results of this study indicate that the AVI is significantly associated with hs-cTnT and urinary albumin excretion in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
