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

backgroundThe prognostic value of common and frequently associated diabetic microvascular complications (MVC), namely chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN), peripheral neuropathy (DPN), and retinopathy (DR), is well established. However, the impact of their different combinations on long-term mortality has not been adequately assessed.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 21-year longitudinal data from 303 patients with long-standing type 1 (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D), who were thoroughly characterized at baseline for the presence of MVC using

resultsAfter a 5,244 person-years follow-up, a total of 133 (43.9%) deaths occurred. The presence of CKD and CAN, regardless of other MVC, increased the adjusted all-cause mortality risk by 117% (HR 2.17 [1.45-3.26]) and 54% (HR 1.54 [1.01-2.36]), respectively. Concomitant CKD&CAN at baseline were associated with the highest mortality risk (HR 5.08 [2.52-10.26]), followed by CKD&DR (HR 2.95 [1.63-5.32]), and CAN&DR (HR 2.07 [1.11-3.85]). Compared with patients free from MVC, the mortality risk was only numerically higher in those with any isolated MVC (HR 1.52 [0.87-2.67]), while increased by 203% (HR 3.03 [1.62-5.68]) and 692% (HR 7.92 [2.93-21.37]) in patients with two and three concomitant MVC, respectively.

conclusionsOur study demonstrates the long-term, synergistic, negative effects of single and concomitant diabetic MVC on all-cause mortality, which should encourage comprehensive screenings for MCV in both T1D and T2D to improve risk stratification and treatment.
