The Impact of Lipaemia on the Laboratory Results in a Patient With Diabetes.
Article in Cureus, 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
Diabetic dyslipidaemia influences many laboratory results, which would not appear erroneous in the context of diabetic end organ damage, and can lead to inappropriate clinician response and treatment. Alternatively, abnormal results can be missed due to interference, again with potential consequences. Markedly raised haemoglobin levels are not commonly in keeping with diabetic complications and can alert presiding clinicians to lab interference and to treat results with caution. The vast majority of full blood count analyses make use of a spectrophotometric hemolysate method, which is influenced by dyslipidaemia. In this context, the less performed isovolumetric intact red cell spectrophotometric measurement demonstrated the true haemoglobin value. This case emphasises the need for correlation between laboratory healthcare workers and clinicians to interrogate artefactual laboratory results.
