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

In complex etiopathogenesis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), hemostatic dysfunction and subclinical inflammation play a possible role. Fibrinogen is involved in both the hemostatic and inflammatory pathways, so we hypothesize that fibrinogen gene polymorphisms might be associated with DPN. A total of 127 young patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) (average age, 18.5 ± 4.65 years; average diabetes duration, 14.5 ± 2.26 years) and 90 healthy controls were enrolled into the study. Basic biochemical and coagulation parameters were measured and gene polymorphisms of fibrinogen alpha (rs6050) and beta (rs1800790) were established. DPN was diagnosed in 38 diabetic patients by neurological examination. AA genotype and A allele of rs1800790 polymorphism of fibrinogen beta were associated with increased risk of DPN (odds ratio [OR] 4.537, 95% confidence interval [95CI] 1.14-19.94, p = 0.019 and OR 1.958, 95CI 1.038-3.675, p = 0.029, respectively). No association was found between DPN and rs6050 gene polymorphisms. Plasma fibrinogen concentration significantly correlated with HbA1c (Spearman's correlation coefficient [r] = 0.54) and HDL cholesterol (r = - 0.67). A allele and AA genotype of rs1800790 seem to be associated with DPN in young patients with T1D. Further studies are appropriate to elucidate the role of fibrinogen gene polymorphisms in the complex etiology of DPN.
