Independent linear association between flow-mediated dilation and predicted intermediate-to-high 10-year ASCVD risk in patients with type 2 diabetes: a retrospective 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: Vascular endothelial dysfunction precedes atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, the specific nature of the association between flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and the intermediate-to-high 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk remains to be fully elucidated. This study aimed to investigate this correlation in a large sample of Chinese patients with T2DM. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1,272 T2DM patients managed at the National Metabolic Management Center (MMC) between March 2020 and March 2025. Endothelial function was assessed via brachial artery FMD (dysfunction: FMD < 6.5%). Multivariate linear and logistic regressions identified independent factors. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models assessed non-linear associations between FMD and the intermediate-to-high 10-year ASCVD risk. Results: Overall, 78.9% (n=1,003) exhibited endothelial dysfunction. Multivariate analysis identified older age, higher systolic blood pressure, male sex, smoking, hypertension, and the intermediate-to-high ASCVD risk were independently associated with impaired FMD (all Conclusions: Endothelial dysfunction is highly prevalent in T2DM. FMD was independently, inversely and linearly associated with the intermediate-to-high calculated 10-year ASCVD risk.
