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

This study investigated associations between the apolipoprotein (apo) CIII polymorphism and triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations in fasting and postprandial plasma. Polymerase chain reaction followed by a restriction fragment length genotyping was conducted to assess the allele frequency of the apo CIII T2854G variants in healthy and normolipidemic Korean men ( n=262). Waist circumference, body mass index (kilograms per meter squared), fasting plasma concentrations of TAG, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), glucose, and insulin were compared across the genotypes. Compared to TT homozygotes and TG heterozygotes, GG homozygotes had 22% higher fasting TAG concentrations, respectively ( p<0.05). A subgroup of 60 subjects (TT homozygotes=20, TG heterozygotes=22, GG homozygotes= 18) were further invited to participate in a high-fat meal test to assess postprandial TAG concentrations. During the high-fat meal test, the GG homozygotes had 21% higher TAG area under the curve (AUC) than the TT homozygotes ( p<0.05) and 22% higher TAG AUC than the TG heterozygotes ( p<0.05). In conclusion, this is the first study to show that the apo CIII T2854G variants are associated with elevated postprandial TAG concentrations in the study population of Korean men.
