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

introductionSyndecan (SDC)-1 is a transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan and is a major component of endothelial glycocalyx (EG). This study aimed to investigate the association of serum SDC-1 concentration as a marker of EG degradation with albuminuria in type 2 diabetes.

methodsWe included 370 patients with type 2 diabetes and 219 individuals with no diabetes. The individuals with estimate glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsSerum SDC-1 concentration was higher in type 2 diabetes than in no diabetes. The presence of diabetes was independently associated with log [SDC-1] in multivariate analysis. In type 2 diabetes, serum SDC-1 concentration was correlated with log [urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR)]. Moreover, log [SDC-1] was an independent determinant of log [ACR] after adjustment for known risk factors of albuminuria.

conclusionsSerum SDC-1 concentration was higher in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to individuals with no diabetes and an independent determinant of ACR. This study implicates the role of the EG degradation in albuminuria in type 2 diabetes.
