Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is the most underdiagnosed consequence of diabetes because standard hospital settings do not provide consistent diagnostic criteria or testing resources. It is still unclear how diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and CAN are related. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of CAN in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had isolated DPN without other microvascular or macrovascular complications. Methodology A total of 35 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with isolated DPN (group 1) and an equal number of sex- and age-matched patients without DPN (group 2) underwent CAN testing. Results were compared between the two groups. Results A significantly higher prevalence of isolated parasympathetic (28.57 vs. 11.42%), isolated sympathetic (22.85 vs. 8.57%), and combined autonomic dysfunction (37.14 vs. 2.85%) was found in the neuropathic group compared to the non-neuropathic group. Group 1 exhibited more abnormal parasympathetic nervous system test results and increased diastolic pressure during sustained handgrip compared to group 2 (all p-values <0.05). Conclusions A significantly higher prevalence of cardiac autonomic dysfunction is seen in patients with DPN without other microvascular or macrovascular complications, irrespective of age, sex, or duration of diabetes mellitus. Patients with a higher body mass index were found to have significantly increased cardiac autonomic dysfunction.
