Platelet indices in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus: a simple glucoregulation monitoring tool.
Article in African health sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Long-term hyperglycemia can lead to changes in the function and morphology of platelets. Objective: This study aimed to test the potential glucoregulation monitoring properties of platelet indices, mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW), in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods: The study included 453 patients below the age of 18 with T1DM treated at the Institute for Child and Youth Health Care of Vojvodina. Children were divided into two groups, according to their glucoregulation quality, i.e., glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed. Results: MPV and PDW were found to be important in predicting poor glucoregulation, both in independent and conjoint analysis. Proposed cut-off values for MPV and PDW in the glucose control monitoring of children with T1DM were 7.6 fL and 14.4%, respectively. Conclusion: Our study showed that MPV and PDW have monitoring properties in terms of glucose control in children with T1DM. Additionally, our study emphasizes the importance of selecting the most convenient control group in order to avoid misleading conclusions.
