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

backgroundCognitive impairment is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, its underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study investigated the association between serum moesin levels, cognitive impairment, and glucose fluctuations in T2DM patients.

methodsA total of 229 T2DM patients and 150 healthy controls were enrolled, and patients with T2DM were further categorized into those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n = 71) and without MCI (non-MCI, n = 158). An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to evaluate the serum levels of moesin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in all participants.

resultsSerum moesin levels were significantly elevated in T2DM patients compared to those in healthy controls (P < 0.001) and further increased in the MCI group compared to those in the non-MCI group (P < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis identified an optimal moesin cutoff of 113.49 ng/mL (AUC = 0.866) for distinguishing MCI from T2DM, with 76.1% sensitivity and 86.7% specificity. Correlation analysis demonstrated that moesin was positively correlated with triglyceride, LDL-C, IMT, hs-CRP, and glucose variability markers (MAGE, MBG, SD, and MODD) but negatively correlated with years of education, BDNF, time in range (TIR), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression identified BMI, years of education, diabetes duration, FBG, hs-CRP, BDNF, MAGE, SD, and moesin as independent predictors of MCI in T2DM (P < 0.05).

conclusionsThese findings suggest that elevated serum moesin levels are associated with cognitive impairment in patients with T2DM, potentially mediated by glucose fluctuations, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction.
