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
backgroundType 1 diabetes (T1D) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14) is involved in the development of atherosclerosis and CVD. The main aim was to explore the associations between MMP-14 and selected inflammatory and metabolic variables, CVD, depression, physical activity, smoking and medication in patients with T1D. The secondary aim was to explore associations with CVD.
methodsCross-sectional design. The participants were consecutively recruited from one specialist diabetes out-patient clinic. Depression was assessed by a self-report instrument. Blood samples, anthropometrics and blood pressure were collected, supplemented with data from electronic health records. High MMP-14 was defined as ≥ 5.81 ng/mL. Non-parametric tests, Chi
resultsTwo hundred and sixty-eighth T1D patients aged 18-59 years participated (men 58%, high MMP-14 25%, CVD 3%). Sixty-seven patients with high MMP-14, compared to 201 patients with lower MMP-14, had higher prevalence of CVD (8% versus 1%, p = 0.012), and had higher levels of galectin-3 (p < 0.001) and MMP-2 (p = 0.018). Seven patients with CVD, compared to 261 without, were older (p = 0.003), had longer diabetes duration (p = 0.027), and had higher prevalence of high MMP-14 (71% versus 24%, p = 0.012), abdominal obesity (p = 0.014), depression (p = 0.022), usage of antidepressants (p = 0.008), antihypertensive drugs (p = 0.037) and statins (p = 0.049). Galectin-3 (per ng/mL) [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 2.19, p < 0.001], CVD (AOR 8.1, p = 0.027), and MMP-2 (per ng/mL) (AOR 1.01, p = 0.044) were associated with high MMP-14. Depression (AOR 17.4, p = 0.006), abdominal obesity (15.8, p = 0.006), high MMP-14 (AOR 14.2, p = 0.008), and diabetes duration (AOR 1.10, p = 0.012) were associated with CVD.
conclusionsThe main findings of this study were that galecin-3, MMP-2, and CVD were independently associated with high levels of MMP-14 in T1D patients. The association between MMP-14 and galectin-3 is a new finding. No traditional risk factors for CVD were associated with MMP-14. Depression, abdominal obesity and MMP-14 were independently associated with CVD.
