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

This study aimed to (i) develop and validate new intraepidermal nerve fibres (IENFs) biomarkers with the aid of machine learning algorithms for the diagnosis of small-fibre neuropathy in diabetic patients and (ii) explore the diagnostic performance and clinical significance of these new biomarkers. Patients with diabetic neuropathy and control subjects were recruited. Area-based morphometry of IENF (IENFa) parameters were developed by using the machine learning system for automatic quantification. The diagnostic performance was assessed according to receiver operating characteristic analysis. The clinical implications of the various IENFa parameters were examined by exploring their correlations with metabolic profiles and via electrophysiological experiments. The diabetic neuropathy (
