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

Complications due to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) such as diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) have a powerful impact on mortality and morbidity. Our current diagnostic markers have become outdated as T2DM-related complications continue to develop. The aim of the investigation was to point out the relationship between previously selected metabolites which are potentially derived from gut microbiota and indicators of endothelial, proximal tubule (PT), and podocyte dysfunction, and neurosonological indices. The study participants were 20 healthy controls and 90 T2DM patients divided into three stages: normoalbuminuria, microalbuminuria, and macroalbuminuria. Serum and urine metabolites were determined by untargeted and targeted metabolomic techniques. The markers of endothelial, PT and podocyte dysfunction were assessed by ELISA technique, and the neurosonological indices were provided by an ultrasound device with high resolution (MYLAB 8-ESAOTE Italy). The descriptive statistical analysis was followed by univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses. In conclusion, in serum, arginine (sArg), butenoylcarnitine (sBCA), and indoxyl sulfate (sIS) expressed a biomarker potential in terms of renal endothelial dysfunction and carotid atherosclerosis, whereas sorbitol (sSorb) may be a potential biomarker of blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. In urine, BCA and IS were associated with markers of podocyte damage, whereas PCS correlated with markers of PT dysfunction.
