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

Introduction: Microvascular diseases (MVD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) are associated with alterations in the bone microarchitecture, but their association with fracture risk is unclear. We investigated whether MVD (retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy) are associated with higher fracture risk in persons with T2D. Materials and methods: We identified 10 491 persons with T2D, enrolled in the Danish Centre for Strategic Research in Type 2 Diabetes cohort between 2010 and 2022. The primary outcomes were any hospital-diagnosed fracture (except facial and cranial), and major osteoporotic fractures (MOF), defined as clinical vertebral, hip, humerus, and forearm fractures, in persons with hospital-diagnosed MVD vs without MVD. We used Cox proportional hazard models to calculate crude and adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs). Results: During a median follow-up of 7.6 yr IQR (3.5; 9.7), the rates of any fracture were higher in persons with T2D and MVD vs no MVD (aHR 1.31; 95% CI [1.15; 1.51]). Similarly, MOF rate was elevated in persons with MVD (aHR 1.33 [1.09; 161]). The rates for any fracture and MOF were highest in persons with neuropathy (aHR 1.49 [1.24; 1.78] and aHR 1.54 [1.19; 1.99], respectively). Discussion: Fracture risk is elevated in persons with T2D complicated by MVD, particularly in those with neuropathy.
