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

purposePeripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a life-threatening condition affecting the lower extremities. Common risk factors include type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, and older age. There is a little-documented research on the genetic basis of the disease in Taiwan. We examined the impact of T2D and the blood pressure-associated rs17367504 variant of the MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this population-based association study, we linked data from 8992 participants in Taiwan Biobank (TWB) to their medical records in the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). Participants were 30 to 70 years old at recruitment and included those assessed between 2008 and 2015. We tested for association of PVD with rs17367504 and T2D using multiple logistic regression models. The rs17367504 variant was assessed using the Axiom-Taiwan Biobank Array Plate (TWB chip: Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA).

resultsAmong cases with T2D (n = 1294), 158 (12.21%) were identified with PVD. T2D was associated with PVD (odds ratio [OR], 1.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21-1.91; p<0.001) whereas rs17367504 variant was not (OR, 0.96; CI, 0.76-1.21; p = 0.728 in AG/GG compared to AA homozygotes). However, T2D and rs17367504 had an interactive effect on PVD (p for interaction = 0.0076). Results from our stratified analyses displayed OR of 1.75 (CI, 1.35-2.26; p<0.001) in AA individuals with DM and 0.94 (CI, 0.56-1.58; p = 0.811) in AG+GG individuals with T2D. Using the AA genotype and no T2D as the reference group, the respective OR of PVD was 1.77 (CI, 1.38-2.28; p<0.001) in AA individuals with T2D; 1.18 (CI, 0.91-1.55; p = 0.215) in AG+GG individuals with no T2D, and 1.03 (CI, 0.66-1.60; p = 0.892) in AG+GG individuals with T2D .

conclusionWe found that type 2 diabetes was associated with increased risk of peripheral vascular disease, particularly in AA genotype carriers of the rs17367504 variant in Taiwan.
