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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsPrevious studies suggested that long-term perseverance of beta-cell function in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is associated with lower incidence of microvascular complications. The objective of this study was to evaluate preserved C-peptide secretion in patients with T1DM without overt chronic complications and to explore associations with resistin and uric acid as biomarkers of microvascular complication pathogenesis. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe assessed residual beta-cell function in 164 T1DM patients (male/female = 91/73; age/diabetes duration range = 18-70/1-30 years) using an ultrasensitive C-peptide ELISA assay with detection limit of 2.5 pmol/L and total coefficient of variation (CV) 5,8% (Mercodia, Sweden). Serum level of uric acid was measured by enzymatic method (AU680, Beckman Coulter, USA) while resistin concentration was determined by the ELISA assay (Biovendor, Czech Republic).

resultsC-peptide secretors had shorter diabetes duration (5.1 vs. 16 years;

conclusionThe results of our study revealed that patients with detectable C-peptide had lower resistin and higher uric acid level compared to patients with undetectable C-peptide.
