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

Adiponectin, an adipocytokine secreted by fat tissue, may prevent development of diabetes type II, as high adiponectin levels are linked with insulin sensitivity. In contrast, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, which is also produced by fat tissue, leads to insulin resistance and furthermore inhibits adiponectin mRNA production and secretion of the protein. However, adiponectin also negatively regulates TNF-alpha levels. Therefore, we set out to test whether an infusion of endotoxin would influence circulating adiponectin levels in healthy human subjects. Twenty-three healthy human subjects were injected with endotoxin (2 ng/kg body weight); eight of these subjects were also injected with saline and served as controls. Plasma levels of adiponectin, TNF-alpha and interleukin-6 were measured at 0, 1.5, 2, 4, 8 and 24 h. TNF-alpha and interleukin-6 levels peaked at 1.5 h and 2 h, respectively. Control subjects injected with saline showed a decrease in adiponectin plasma levels with time (P < 0.05) presumably owing to the effect of fasting or physical inactivity. However, there was no change in adiponectin plasma levels in endotoxin injected subjects, thus the effect of fasting was opposed. In conclusion, circulating adiponectin levels are reduced during a resting and fasting state, an effect reversed by endotoxin injection.
