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
introductionThis study explored the correlation between sex hormones, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), and insulin resistance in male patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
methodsA total of 48 male patients with newly diagnosed T2DM were enrolled in this study between March 2022 and December 2022. Clinical characteristics, sex hormones, and SHBG levels were collected. All enrolled subjects received intensive hypoglycemic treatment with insulin pump for 1 week to achieve glycemic control, then the steady-state glucose infusion rate (GIR), an indicator of insulin sensitivity, was determined by the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. Correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to explore the association of clinical characteristics, sex hormones, and SHBG with insulin sensitivity. The optimal cutoff value to predict insulin resistance was calculated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
resultsAccording to the GIR cut-point value of 5.700 mg/(kg min), there were 40 patients with insulin resistance (IR group) and 8 patients without (non-IR group). The IR group exhibited lower testosterone and SHBG levels than the non-IR group (all p < 0.050). Correlation analysis showed that insulin sensitivity was positively associated with testosterone and SHBG, while negatively associated with body mass index, fasting blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and apolipoprotein B (all p < 0.050). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that SHBG is an independent predictor for insulin resistance (p = 0.029). Further ROC curve analysis revealed that the optimal cutoff value of SHBG to predict insulin resistance is 17.200 nmol/L, with the corresponding area under the curve (AUC) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) being 0.813 and 0.691-0.934.
conclusionsSHBG is an independent predictor for insulin resistance in male patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: KY20220314-01.
