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

Whether cortisol secretion is linked with microalbuminuria remains undefined. We aimed to investigate the relationship between serum cortisol levels and the presence of microalbuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and prediabetes. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 211 patients with T2DM or prediabetes. Serum cortisol was measured at 8:00 h, 16:00 h, and 0:00 h. The level and circadian rhythm of ACTH were also evaluated. Urine excretion of albumin was measured. Patients were subdivided into microalbuminuria (MAU) group (n= 120) and normoalbuminuria (NAU) group (n = 91) according to the status of microalbuminuria. Levels of serum cortisol (8:00 h: 426.9 ± 155.0 nmol/; 16:00 h: 303.7 ± 144.7 nmol/L) were significantly higher in MAU group than in NAU group (8:00 h: 370.2 ±130.6 nmol/L,
