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

IR is hypothesized to be the important pathophysiologic link between adiposity and future development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A variety of methods for measuring IR have been validated in children, from the gold-standard hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp, to simple fasting measures based on fasting insulin and glucose levels. Studies have shown that there are a number of important risk factors for IR in children, including adiposity and visceral adiposity, race/ethnicity, puberty, a family history of type 2 diabetes, sex, and being small for gestational age or prematurity. However, obesity represents the critical risk factor for IR in children. Greater than 50% of obese adolescents in the US have IR. Formal assessment of IR in obese children may represent an important strategy for improving the efficacy of pharmacologic therapy for weight loss and chronic disease prevention.
