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

In individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), elevated levels of both plasma and urinary cystatin C (Cys-C) contribute to increased oxidation, which in turn accelerates the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). This process may worsen the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease by promoting endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. Despite its potential significance, the relationship between Cys-C and oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) in T2DM remains poorly understood. This study investigated the relationship between plasma and urinary Cys-C and ox-LDL levels in T2DM patients. The cohort included 57 patients with T2DM (mean age 61.14 ± 9.99 years; HbA1c 8.66 ± 1.60% and BMI 35.15 ± 6.65 kg/m
