Correlates and predictors of peripheral artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Calabar, Nigeria: a multicentre cross-sectional comparative study.

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: Peripheral arterial disease is a major macrovascular complication of diabetes mellitus. We aimed to determine the prevalence of peripheral artery disease among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Calabar and its correlation with traditional risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidaemia, age, smoking, glycaemic control and inflammatory markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and fibrinogen. Materials and methods: This was a hospital-based multi-centre cross-sectional comparative study. A proportionate stratified sampling technique was used to determine the number of diabetics recruited from the diabetes centre of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Nigerian Navy Reference Hospital and General Hospital Calabar. Peripheral artery disease was defined as ankle brachial index value of < 0.9 in at least one limb and was measured using a handheld Doppler (8 MHz Life Dop Summit device). Results: The prevalence of peripheral artery disease using ABI < 0.9 in this study was 37.5% in people living with type 2 diabetes and 8.0% in controls. A statistically significant relationship was observed between advanced age ( Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of peripheral artery disease among Type 2 diabetics in our setting. Besides the traditional risk factors such as advancing age, hypertension and duration of diabetes, which are known to be associated with peripheral artery disease in diabetics, we identified fibrinogen and C-reactive protein as inflammatory markers which could enhance the early detection of peripheral artery disease in Type 2 diabetics.
