Effect of diabetes mellitus on markers of left ventricular dysfunction in chronic kidney disease.
Article in Indian heart journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo identify markers of left ventricular dysfunction in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the effects of diabetes mellitus on them.
methodsThis was a cross sectional study of 200 consecutive chronic kidney disease patients (stage III-V). Echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular function including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left atrial volume, grade of diastolic dysfunction, E/E', left and right ventricular myocardial performance indices (LVMPI, RVMPI) were compared between diabetic and non-diabetic CKD.
resultsLVMI significantly increased with increasing stage of CKD (p < 0.001) in both diabetics (158.82 ± 48.76 gm/m
conclusionAdvancing CKD stage was linearly associated with progressive left ventricular dysfunction which was significantly greater in diabetics.
