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

backgroundMonocyte-mediated inflammation increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting on monocyte-mediated inflammation in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

methodsThis systematic review and meta-analysis was registered in the international prospective register of a systematic review: CRD42019132902. The MEDLINE, EMBASE and Google scholar electronic databases were searched, and a random-effects model was used to generate pooled standardised mean differences between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy controls.

resultsThe clinical studies (n = 20) comprised of 1065 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 1103 healthy controls. Notably, the levels of monocyte activation were higher in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared to healthy controls (standardised mean difference  = 0.47, 95% confidence interval (0.10, 0.84), p = 0.01) (χ

conclusionOur meta-analysis suggests that there is increased monocyte activation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
