Pancreatic stone protein as a novel biomarker of microvascular complications in type II diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Objectives: Pancreatic stone protein (PSP) has been identified as an indicator of systemic stress and is elevated in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), potentially serving as a prognostic marker for both the onset and progression of the disease. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis 2020 guidelines. Articles were sourced from MEDLINE, ProQuest, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library electronic databases. Studies included are all observational studies examining PSP/Reg1α serum levels in patients with T2DM. The quality of the study was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, as well as Review Manager 5.4 to perform the meta-analysis. Results: Seven studies met the criteria for inclusion. Pooled analysis revealed significant differences in PSP values between T2DM individuals and healthy controls (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 2.14, 95% confidence interval CI: 1.05-1.92, Conclusion: Our analysis revealed a progressive elevation in PSP values concomitant with the worsening T2DM disease state across the entire spectrum. PSP exhibits promising potential as a biomarker for predicting both disease initiation and subsequent clinical course.
