Association of Non-Dipping Blood Pressure Patterns with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: A Cross-Sectional Study among a Population with Diabetes in Greece.
Article in Nutrients, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is present in 20-50% of cases with diabetes. The pathophysiology of DPN is not yet clear regarding hypertension (HTN). The aim of this study was to assess the association between the stages of DPN and HTN in a Greek population with diabetes. We examined 102 adults for diabetic neuropathy (DPN) from November 2020 to December 2021, using the Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Scale System (TCNSS) to categorize them into two groups (no/mild DPN versus medium/severe DPN). Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed to evaluate their hypertensive status. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association between the stage of DPN and HTN. The multivariate analysis, considering sex, age, and dipping status, did not show statistically significant associations between stages of HTN and DPN. However, in contrast to dippers, non-dippers had an almost four-times higher risk of developing medium-to-severe DPN (odds ratio (OR) 3.93; 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.33-11.64]); females, in contrast to males, had a 65% lower risk of developing moderate/severe DPN (OR 0.35; 95%CI [0.14-0.92]). In conclusion, our findings showed no statistically significant associations between DPN and HTN; however, dipping status, hyperglycemia, and female sex were shown to play a role in the pathophysiology of DPN.
