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

aims/hypothesisDyslipidaemia is a main component of the insulin resistance syndrome. The inbred Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat is a model of spontaneous type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, which has been used to identify diabetes-related susceptibility loci in genetic crosses. The objective of our study was to test the genetic control of lipid metabolism in the GK rat and investigate a possible relationship with known genetic loci regulating glucose homeostasis in this strain. MATERIALS AND

methodsPlasma concentration of triglycerides, phospholipids, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and VLDL cholesterol were determined in a cohort of 151 hybrids of an F2 cross derived from GK and non-diabetic Brown Norway (BN) rats. Data from the genome-wide scan of the F2 hybrids were used to test for evidence of genetic linkage to the lipid quantitative traits.

resultsWe identified statistically significant quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that control the level of plasma phospholipids and triglycerides (chromosome 1), LDL cholesterol (chromosome 3) and total and HDL cholesterol (chromosomes 1 and 5). These QTLs do not coincide with previously identified diabetes susceptibility loci in a similar cross. The significance of lipid QTLs mapped to chromosomes 1 and 5 is strongly influenced by sex. CONCLUSION/

interpretationWe established that several genetic loci control the quantitative variations of plasma lipid variables in a GKxBN cross. They appear to be distinct from known GK diabetes QTLs, indicating that lipid metabolism and traits directly relevant to glucose and insulin regulation are controlled by different gene variants in this strain combination.
