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

backgroundMicroalbuminuria is a prognostic marker of diabetes kidney disease. It is generally diagnosed as the ratio of urinary albumin to creatinine (UACR) of 30-300 mg/g. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a common disease in the endocrinology and the thyroid antibodies may associated with kidney disease. We investigated the UACR in the newly diagnosed T2DM with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and tried to detect the relationship between the UACR and thyroid antibodies.

methodsOne hundred twenty newly diagnosed T2DM patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and euthyroidism and 50 sex and age-matched T2DM with non-Hashimoto's and other thyroid disease were recruited. T2DM patients were divided into 2 groups by the titer of TPOAb: (1). TPOAb (+) group: T2DM with positive TPOAb (n = 105); (2). TPOAb (-) group: T2DM with negative TPOAb (n = 65).

resultsT2DM with positive TPOAb group had higher UACR than T2DM with negative TPOAb group (21.55 ± 7.28 vs 15.13 ± 5.69 mg/g, P < 0.01). UACR were positively related to BMI (r = 0.255, P < 0.05), FPG (r = 0.285, P < 0.05), HbA1c (r = 0.260, P < 0.05) and TPOAb (r = 0.349, P < 0.05). HbA1c (β = 0.793, P < 0.05), BMI (β = 0.342, P < 0.05) and lnTPOAb (β = 1.207, P < 0.05) were independently associated with UACR.

conclusionsIn the newly diagnosed T2DM patients, Hashimoto's thyroiditis with TPOAb positive had higher UACR levels. TPOAb titer, BMI and HbA1c were independent associated with UACR in these patients.
