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

Purpose: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and concomitant diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) induce muscle weakness. Muscle weakness in the foot is associated with foot deformities and falls. However, factors affecting toe grip strength (TGS) are not well known. Therefore, the present study investigated factors related to TGS in patients with T2DM. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 100 patients with T2DM who were hospitalized for the treatment of T2DM and 50 healthy adults. The subjects were divided into three groups: a group of healthy subjects, a group of T2DM patients without DPN, and a group of T2DM patients with DPN. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed with TGS and the TGS-to-weight ratio (TGS/Wt%) as dependent variables and with age, the presence of T2DM, and DPN as independent variables, and sex and BMI as confounders. Results: There were no significant differences in age or sex among the three groups. In the final regression analysis, age and presence of T2DM and DPN were associated in both models with TGS and TGS/Wt% as dependent variables. Conclusion: DPN, T2DM, and age were found to be related to TGS. The findings of this study could contribute to healthcare providers developing foot care and rehabilitation programs for diabetic patients. Trial registration: This study was registered with UMIN-CTR (UMIN000034320) on 1 November 2018.
