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

objectiveThe role of protein oxidation in the development of diabetic microvascular complications was investigated.

methodsIn total, 266 participants were split into five groups: Group 1; diabetes mellitus for at least 10 years without any complications, Group 2; diabetic nephropathy, Group 3; diabetic neuropathy, Group 4; diabetic retinopathy, and Group 5; control group. Thiol, disulfide, ferroxidase, and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels were analyzed in the serum.

resultsNative thiol, total thiol, and native thiol/total thiol were lower in Group 4 than Groups 1, 3, and 5 (p<0.001). However, disulfide/native thiol and disulfide/total thiol were higher in Group 4 than all other groups (p<0.001). IMA was higher in Groups 3 and 4 than all other groups (p<0.001). Ferroxidase was lower in Groups 3 and 4 than Group 2 (p<0.001).

conclusionThiol-disulfide homeostasis impairment in favor of disulfide may have a function in the progress of diabetic retinopathy. Furthermore, the disruptions of IMA and ferroxidase levels involve in the development of diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy.
