Lipoprotein (a) and vascular disease in diabetic patients.
Article in Diabetologia, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
In order to assess the potential role of lipoprotein (a) as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in diabetes mellitus, plasma concentrations were measured in a large group (n = 500) of non-insulin-dependent (NIDDM, n = 355) and insulin-dependent (IDDM, n = 145) patients. Concentrations of lipoprotein (a) were compared in diabetic patients with (n = 153) or without (347) documented vascular disease (ischaemic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease or macroangiopathy). They were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in patients with ischaemic heart disease (mean [interquartile range] 15.5 (5.0-38.0) vs 9.0 (4.5-26.0) mg/dl) or macroangiopathy (13.0 (5.0-38.0) vs 9.0 (4.0-25.0) mg/dl) compared to patients without manifestations of vascular disease. In addition, stepwise logistic regression analysis identified lipoprotein (a) levels > or = 30 mg/dl as being independently associated with the presence of cardiovascular disease. Lipoprotein (a) was an independent risk factor for ischaemic heart disease and macroangiopathy in this group of IDDM and NIDDM patients.
