To Compare the Level of Cystatin C in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Obesity.
Article in Indian journal of endocrinology and metabolism. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundCystatin C is a non-glycosylated basic protein that is produced and secreted at a constant rate by all nucleated cells. Cystatin C is a more reliable marker than the serum creatinine because it is less affected by external factors such as gender, race and muscle mass. However, the comparison of serum cystatin C level in type 2 diabetes mellitus is not well known in people with obesity.
objectivesTo estimate the level of cystatin C in type 2 diabetes and that can be explained by the change in obesity. Thus, this current study aimed to determine and compare the level of cystatin C in type 2 DM with obesity and also correlate the cystatin C level with the quality of life in type 2 DM and obesity. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe have taken three groups: Group A containing type 2 DM, Group B containing obesity, and Group C containing type 2 DM with obesity. In all, 25 patients in each group were selected and analyzed for cystatin C.
resultsCystatin C level was very high in type 2 DM with obesity group. The
conclusionThe level of cystatin C is much higher in type 2 DM with obese patient as compared with type 2 DM and obese patients.
