Association of urinary creatinine excretion and body mass index with diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study aimed to determine whether urinary creatinine excretion rate (CER), a marker of muscle mass, is associated with diabetic retinopathy in individuals with type 2 diabetes and to ascertain whether this putative association depends on body mass index (BMI). This cross sectional study evaluated 2035 individuals with type 2 diabetes. Twenty-four-hour urine was collected. Individuals with diabetic retinopathy had lower CER and BMI values than those without. Patients in higher CER quartiles had higher BMI values and a lower prevalence of diabetic retinopathy. A significant relationship between CER and diabetic retinopathy persisted, even after adjusting for traditional risk factors, including glycated hemoglobin, diabetes duration, and hypertension, in multivariable analysis. Further adjustment for BMI did not significantly alter the association between CER and diabetic retinopathy. This study suggests that CER is inversely associated with diabetic retinopathy in individuals with type 2 diabetes, and this association is independent of BMI.
