Cluster and Factor Analysis of Elements in Serum and Urine of Diabetic Patients with Peripheral Neuropathy and Healthy People.
Article in Biological trace element research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus, presented as a major teratogenic cause worldwide. This study discussed alternation and correlation of magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), chromium (Cr), and selenium (Se) among DPN patients and healthy people using multivariate statistical analysis. Fifty patients with DPN were recruited from endocrinology department, First Hospital of Jilin University between January 2010 and October 2011 and also 50 healthy subjects were enrolled at the same time. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to assay elements in serum and urine. Cluster analysis was used to clarify alternation of elements' homogeneity. Factor analysis was performed to evaluate the most informative kinds of elements. Mg, Ca, Zn, and Cr in DPN patients were significantly lower in serum whereas significantly higher in urine. Elements were clustered into 4 or 5 clusters based on internal association using between-groups linkage algorithm. Serum Cr, Se, and Fe were grouped, and Mg related to Ca more closely in both serum and urine in DPN. Factor analysis revealed discrepancies of elements' contribution. Cr, Se, and Fe appeared to be the most crucial factors contributing to DPN. Mg, Ca, Zn, and Cu were more influential, whereas Cr became less potent to disease. Contributed value of elements could be determined and specified using loadings in scree plot. Future studies and delicate statistical models should be applied.
