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

Objective: To evaluate the consistency between SUDOSCAN examinations and electromyography (EMG) results in patients with diabetes. Methods: A total of 326 patients with diabetes (201 males and 125 females) who were hospitalized in the endocrinology ward of the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine (Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine) from June 2020 to February 2021 were selected as participants. All the patients were tested using a SUDOSCAN conductance analyzer for electrical skin conductivities and EMG for nerve conduction. The differences and consistencies between the results of the two examinations were analyzed. McNemar's test was used to analyze the differences between the results, and Cohen's kappa test was utilized to test the consistencies. Results: A total of 174 patients had abnormal SUDOSCAN results, and 152 patients had normal SUDOSCAN results. The EMG results of 299 patients were abnormal, and the EMG results of 27 patients were normal. The McNemar test result was Conclusion: Differences existed between the SUDOSCAN examination and EMG results, and the results of the two examination methods were inconsistent, indicating that SUDOSCAN examinations cannot replace EMG examinations for DSPN.
