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

Inflammation has been recognized as a pivotal factor in the pathophysiology of diabetes. The aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI) has recently been proposed as a novel biomarker for evaluating inflammatory status and predicting clinical outcomes. However, evidence on the association between AISI and mortality in diabetic patients remains limited. To address this knowledge gap, we aimed to investigate the association between AISI and mortality risk from cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CCD) and malignant neoplasms in diabetic patients. We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2001-2018). Multivariable-adjusted Cox models revealed strong associations between elevated AISI levels and CCD mortality (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.11-1.26) as well as malignant neoplasm mortality (HR 1.20, 95% CI 1.10-1.30). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that higher AISI was associated with lower survival in diabetic patients for both CCD and malignant neoplasms. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis demonstrated an increased risk of mortality from CCD and malignant neoplasms in diabetic patients with elevated AISI levels. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings. In adults with diabetes, elevated AISI levels are strongly associated with an increased risk of mortality from CCD and malignant neoplasms.
