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

objectiveTo differentiate the value of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), glycated albumin (GA) and glycosylated serum protein (GSP) in monitoring blood glucose of patients with aplastic anemia.

methods42 patients with aplastic anemia (AA) and 30 patients with AA and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were enrolled in the study, in comparison with 114 healthy subjects and 88 subjects with T2DM. HbA1c, GA, GSP, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), hemoglobin (Hb) and albumin (ALB) were measured, and group comparison and correlation analysis were carried out.

resultsCompared with the non-diabetes patients while ALB were <30 g/l or 30-40 g/l, the HbA1c and GSP values in AA, T2DM and AA+T2DM patients were significantly higher while the GA values were lower. Moreover, no differences in FPG levels. The AA+T2DM patients with ALB >40 g/l had higher HbA1c level, with no difference in GA, GSP and FPG levels. There was a positive correlation between HbA1c and GA in healthy group (ALB ≥ 40 g/l), AA patients (ALB 30-40 g/l and ≥40 g/l), T2DM patients (ALB 30-40 g/l and ≥40 g/l) and AA+T2DM patients (ALB 30-40 g/l and ≥40 g/l) but not in those with ALB < 30 g/l.

conclusionThe HbA1c results were affected by moderate-to-severe anemia, but not mild anemia. HbA1c is not recommended to detect blood glucose levels in AA patients (Hb < 90 g/l) or AA patients (ALB < 30 g/l). FPG and GSP are not suitable for AA patients.
