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

Hand and palm dermatoglyphics were studied in 158 insulin-dependent diabetic children and adolescents [85 with limited joint mobility (LJM) and 73 without]. The findings in this group were compared with those in 400 control subjects, with a similar racial distribution. The main dermatoglyphics alterations found in diabetic patients with LJM, as compared with non-LJM diabetic patients and controls, may be summarized as follows: (a) decrease in digital total ridges count (TRC); (b) higher frequency in the number of arches; (c) decrease in the sum of a line and cubital loops, particularly in the women; (d) increase in the number of t'-axial triradii. These alterations suggest a genetic aetiology of this complication. Further studies are recommended in order to provide more insight into the origin of this disorder.
