Effect of type 2 diabetes on Gd-EOB-DTPA uptake into liver parenchyma: replication study in human subjects.

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.
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
purposeGadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) is a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which specifically taken up by hepatocytes through organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATPs). Previous research in mice has shown that type 2 diabetes is associated with reduced uptake of Gd-EOB-DTPA into the liver parenchyma, reflecting reduced expression of OATP. Since considerable differences in OATP expression exist between mice and humans, human studies are necessary to clarify the effect of diabetes to Gd-EOB-DTPA uptake. The purpose of this study was to validate the effect of diabetes to Gd-EOB-DTPA liver uptake by a confirmatory study in humans.
methodsPatients who underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI were retrospectively reviewed and divided into two groups: severe or uncontrolled diabetic group (patients with insulin therapy and/or HbA1c ≥ 8.4%) and the control group. Liver-to-spleen ratio (LSR) and relative enhancement of the liver (REL) were calculated to represent Gd-EOB-DTPA liver uptake.
resultsA total of 94 patients fulfilled the criteria. The severe or uncontrolled diabetic group (n = 15) showed significantly lower LSR (1.74 ± 0.26 vs. 1.98 ± 0.31, p = 0.007) and REL (0.69 ± 0.23 vs. 0.87 ± 0.31, p = 0.005), compared to the control group (n = 79).
conclusionOur study revealed decreased uptake of Gd-EOB-DTPA into liver parenchyma in the severe or uncontrolled diabetic patients. Further studies to determine the impact of the reduced liver enhancement on clinical diagnostic practice will be needed.
