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: Complications from diabetes mellitus can occur over time and although glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a good biomarker for glycaemic control, other factors also contribute to the development of complications in type 1 diabetes. More markers able to identify the risk of complications are needed. This study aimed to investigate plasma levels of FGF21, Cystatin C, lipocalin-2, and MMP-9 in children and adolescents with different duration of type 1 diabetes and possible correlation to HbA1c to identify potential biomarkers of future complication development. Methods: Patients ( Results: Cystatin C levels were elevated in patients with diabetes duration longer than 5 years ( Conclusion: In conclusion, Cystatin C levels were higher in patients with diabetes duration longer than 5 years, and inverse correlation was found between HbA1c and Cystatin C levels as well as duration of diabetes. Cystatin C may prove useful as an adjunct to HbA1c in predicting eventual development of diabetic complications.
