Significance of plasma TGF-β1 level detection in patients with T2DM with heart failure.
Article in Journal of medical biochemistry, 2024. 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
Background: The aim of the study was to examine the significance of plasma Transforming Growth Factor-1/TGF-β1 (TGF-β1) level testing in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure. Methods: A sample of T2DM patients who were hospitalised for dyspnea was chosen between June 2021 and June 2023. Based on the convenience sample approach, 150 cases were screened for the study, and 50 healthy non-diabetic people without cardiac problems who completed physical examinations over the same period were included as a control group. All study participants had their serum NT-proBNP and plasma TGF-I levels checked, and the values between the two groups were compared. Then, the patients with T2DM with heart failure were grouped according to whether they were accompanied by heart failure or not and the grading of cardiac function, and then the serum NT-proBNP and plasma TGF-β1 levels were compared between the different groups of patients. The diagnostic value of plasma TGF-β1 in the occurrence of heart failure in patients with T2DM was analysed. Results: There were 54 patients without heart failure and 96 people with heart failure among the 150 T2DM patients. The cut-off point was 44.50 g/L. At this time, the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing concomitant heart failure in T2DM were 79.63% and 52.51%, respectively. 96 individuals with T2DM and heart failure showed greater serum and plasma levels of NT-proBNP and TGF-β1 compared to the other two groups (P=0.05). ProBNP and plasma TGF-β1 levels had a positive and significant relationship (P=0.05). Conclusions: Plasma TGF-β1 levels were much higher in T2DM patients than in the general population, and the increase in this index was more pronounced in patients who also had heart failure, a diagnostic indicator for T2DM and heart failure.
