Haptoglobin genotype and its relation to asymptomatic cerebral small-vessel disease in type 1 diabetes.
Article in Acta diabetologica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimCerebral small-vessel disease (SVD) is prevalent in type 1 diabetes and has been associated with the haptoglobin variant allele Hp1. Contrarily, the Hp2-allele has been linked to cardiovascular disease and the role of haptoglobin-genotype in asymptomatic SVD is unknown. We, therefore, aimed to evaluate the alleles' association with SVD.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 179 neurologically asymptomatic adults with type 1 diabetes (women 53%, mean age 39 ± 7 years, diabetes duration 23 ± 10 years, HbA
resultsSVD prevalence was 34.6%. Haptoglobin genotype frequencies were 15.6% (Hp1-1), 43.6% (Hp1-2), and 40.8% (Hp2-2). Only diastolic blood pressure differed between the genotypes Hp1-1, Hp1-2, and Hp2-2 (81 [74-83], 75 [70-80], and 75 [72-81] mmHg, p = 0.019). Haptoglobin genotype frequencies by presence versus absence of SVD were 16.1%; 46.8%; 37.1% versus 15.4%; 41.9%; 42.7% (p = 0.758). Minor allele frequencies were 39.5% versus 36.3% (p = 0.553). Hp1 homozygotes and Hp2 carriers displayed equal proportions of SVD (35.7% vs 34.4%, p > 0.999) and SVD manifestations (white matter hyperintensities 14.3% vs 17.9%, p = 0.790; microbleeds 25.0% vs 21.9%, p = 0.904; lacunar infarcts 0% vs 3.6%, p > 0.999). Hp1-1 was not associated with SVD (OR 1.19, 95% CI 0.46-2.94, p = 0.712) when adjusting for age, blood pressure, and diabetic retinopathy.
conclusionsAlthough the SVD prevalence was high, we detected no significant association between SVD and haptoglobin-genotype.
