The Complexity of Peripheral Arterial Disease and Coronary Artery Disease in Diabetic Patients: An Observational Study.

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
Background: Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that causes luminal narrowing. Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) also exhibit an increased risk of death from cardiovascular complications. This risk is the same for symptomatic or asymptomatic patients. Over a 5-year period, patients with PAD have a 20% chance of suffering from a stroke or myocardial infarction. Additionally, their mortality rate is 30%. This study aimed to assess the relationship between coronary artery disease (CAD) complexity using SYNTAX score and PAD complexity using Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus II (TASC II) score. Methods: The study was designed as single-center cross-sectional observational and included 50 diabetic patients referred for elective coronary angiography and peripheral angiography was done. Results: Most of the patients were males (80%) and smokers (80%) with mean age of 62 years. The mean SYNTAX score was 19.88. There was a significant negative correlation between SYNTAX score and ankle brachial index (ABI) (r = -0.48, P = 0.001) and a significant positive correlation with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level (R Conclusions: Diabetic patients with more complex CAD had more complex PAD. In diabetic patients with CAD, those with worse glycemic control had higher SYNTAX scores and the higher the SYNTAX score, the lower the ABI.
