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

backgroundPatients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) have an increased risk of developing atherosclerosis and complications as myocardial infarction and peripheral artery disease. The thickening of the carotid wall and the brachial artery dysfunction are early and preclinical manifestations of atherosclerosis. The standard marker of care for assessment of glycemic control, glycated hemoglobin, does not associate with early atherosclerosis. We have hypothesized that the emerging metric of glycemic control, as the time spent in the target range (TIR), might be associated with carotid thickening and endothelial dysfunction. According to the hypothesis, we have designed the present research with the aim to evaluate the association between TIR collected in the short and long term and the measures of arterial morphology and function in patients with T1D.

methodsIn our study, 70 patients and 35 healthy controls underwent ultrasound vascular study to measure carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and brachial artery endothelial function by the flow-mediated dilation (FMD) technique. TIR was collected by a continuous glucose monitoring system for 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months before the vascular study.

resultsPatients with T1D showed a significantly higher carotid IMT (mean±SE, 644±19 vs. 568±29 µ;

conclusionsYoung patients with T1D have early vascular abnormalities. The percent of TIR does not correlate with preclinical atherosclerosis. This finding underlines the complexity of the interplay between diabetes and atherosclerosis.
