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

backgroundPostprandial hypertriglyceridaemia is common in diabetes. Fatty acids are regulators of gene expression and may play an important role in regulatingthe postprandial lipoprotein cascade.

aimTo examine postprandial lipoprotein differences between diabetic and control subjects on polyunsaturated (linoleic) and monounsaturated (oleic) fat diets.

methodsA randomised, crossover study.

resultsLDL was greater and HDL less (p < 0.05) in diabetic patients compared to controls on the linoleic acid diet. Apo E per particle was significantly lower in the diabetic patients compared to control subjects on both linoleic (p < 0.05) and oleic acid diets (p < 0.01). HDL apo E was also significantly lower in the diabetic patients compared to controls on the linoleic acid diet (p < 0.02).

conclusionA change from linoleic to oleic acid diet resulted in an improvement in LDL and HDL in the diabetic patients. We suggest that the reduced apo E/particle in the diabetic patients may be an explanation for the delayed lipoprotein clearance.
