Is There any Correlation Between Pulmonary and Coronary Involvement in Diabetic Patients?
Article in International journal of endocrinology and metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Diabetes is a major global health issue, affecting over 8.5% of adults worldwide and significantly increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the association between diabetes-related macrovascular complications, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), and pulmonary function remains unclear. Objectives: The present study was designed to investigate the association between obstructive and restrictive lung patterns and the severity of coronary artery involvement. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Shahid Beheshti Hospital, Qom, Iran, between April 2019 and August 2021. A total of 211 diabetic patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) were selected. They were divided into two groups: Sixty-nine patients in group 1 (non-significant CAD) and 142 patients in group 2 (significant CAD). Spirometry was performed to assess forced expiratory volume (FEV), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV/FVC ratio, with values adjusted for age and sex in the two groups. Results: Among the 211 participants, 142 (67.3%) exhibited significant coronary artery involvement. Comparative analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in spirometric parameters [forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV Conclusions: This study failed to find an association between spirometry findings and coronary artery involvement. However, a significant relationship between small airway involvement and glycemic control was observed.
