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

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. In this study, we used T2DM clinical variables to predict abnormality in thallium-201 myocardial perfusion scans (Th-201 scans). These clinical variables were summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score, and summed difference score (SDS), with data obtained from 368 male and 428 female participants with T2DM. Multiple linear regression results were as follows. In male participants, body mass index (BMI) and creatinine (Cr) were associated with SSS (β = 0.224, p < 0.001; β = 0.140, p = 0.022, respectively), and only BMI was associated with SDS (β = 0.174, p = 0.004). In female participants, BMI and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level were associated with SSS (β = 0.240, p < 0.001; β =  - 0.120, p = 0.048, respectively), and only BMI was correlated with SDS (β = 0.123, p = 0.031). Our multivariate logistic regression indicated that in male and female participants, BMI was the only independent indicator of high SSS (SSS ≥ 9). In this study, we demonstrated that male patients have a higher SSS and SDS than female patients do in Th-201 scans for T2DM in a Chinese population. For male and female patients, BMI was the strongest predictor of abnormality in Th-201 scans. Our results can help clinicians identify patients with T2DM at high risk of CAD.
