Evaluation of the relation between HBA1C and MPV, PDW levels of patients with Type 2 diabetes admitted in internal medicine polyclinics.

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
objectiveDiabetes is a chronic, broad-spectrum metabolic disorder that requires continuous medical care, in which the organism cannot adequately benefit from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins due to insulin deficiency or defects in the effect of insulin. Vascular complications are considered to be the main cause of mortality in diabetic patients. Platelet activation plays a role in the development of vascular complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between HbA1c, which is the parameters that we can evaluate in primary healthcare institutions, and increased Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) levels, which are thought to be a platelet activation markers in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
methodsIn our study, the data for 600 patients who applied to Internal Medicine outpatient clinic of our hospital between January 01, 2022, and June 31, 2022, were obtained by examining their epicrisis through the hospital information management system. Six hundred patients, including 300 control group with HbA1c level below 6.5 and 100 patients each 7-8.5 8.5-10 and above 10, were included in the study. HbA1c, MPV, and PDW levels of the patients were recorded.
resultsAmong 600 patients who applied to internal medicine polyclinics of our hospital between January 01, 2022, and June 31, 2022, 412 participants were female, while 188 participants were male. It was determined that the participants were 46.91±12.68 years old on average, the youngest participant was 18 years old and the oldest participant was 66 years old. It was determined that the mean HbA1c value of the participants participating in the study was 7.6±2.4, the lowest HbA1c value was 4.3, and the highest HbA1c value was 19.3. It was determined that the mean MPV value of the participants was 10.1±1.1, the lowest MPV value was 7.7, and the highest MPV value was 13.3. It was determined that the mean PDW value of the participants was 16.0±0.4, the lowest PDW value was 14.8, and the highest PDW value was 17.2.
conclusionIn this study, it was determined that MDV and PDW levels showed a statistically significant difference according to the HbA1c value ranges of the patient group. Accordingly, the MPV and PDW levels of the participants whose HbA1c value range is >10 are higher. It was observed that MPV and PDW levels increased as the HbA1c value range increased.
