Early Markers of Atherosclerosis in Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 detect early atherosclerosis changes using flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery, carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, IL-6), and endothelial markers (sICAM and sVCAM).
methodsThe authors recruited 4 to 18-y-old children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and age- and sex-matched normal children, excluding those with familial hypercholesterolemia, syndromic disorders, and cardiovascular disease. CIMT and FMD were measured in both the groups. Biomarkers hs-CRP, IL-6, sICAM, and sVCAM, were analyzed in the T1DM group.
resultsForty T1DM children and 40 controls with 27 (67.5%) girls were enrolled in each group. The mean age was 9.68 y. The T1DM group had 4 (10%) obese and 4 (10%) overweight children. Among cases, 9 (22.5%) had diabetes for > 5 y, 24 (60%) required daily insulin between 0.8 and 1.2 IU/kg/d and 26 (65%) had HbA1c > 10 g/dL. The CIMT values were significantly higher in cases (0.69 mm) than in controls (0.59 mm); 29 (72.5%) cases had abnormal combined CIMT values. FMD was lesser in cases than in controls but not significant. The median values of hs-CRP, IL-6, sICAM, sVCAM were 0.81 mg/L, 6.27 pg/mL, 46.33 ng/mL and 668.81 ng/mL, respectively. A significant correlation of IL-6 with CIMT (r = 0.543, p = < 0.001) and sICAM with FMD (r = -0.397, p = 0.011) was observed. VCAM was low in the obese and overweight children.
conclusionChildren with type 1 diabetes had higher CIMT than normal children, whereas FMD did not differ. The association between elevated inflammatory markers with high CIMT and low FMD indicates that inflammation plays an essential role in endothelial dysfunction.
