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.

Abstract

aims/hypothesisPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), encoded by the PPARG gene, regulates insulin sensitivity and adipogenesis, and may bind polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and thiazolidinediones in a ligand-dependent manner. The PPARG proline for alanine substitution at position 12 (Pro12Ala polymorphism) has been related with obesity directly and via interaction with PUFA.

methodsWe tested the effect-modifying role of Pro12Ala on the 1 year change in obesity-related traits in a randomised clinical trial of treatment with metformin (n = 989), troglitazone (n = 363) or lifestyle modification (n = 1,004) vs placebo (n = 1,000) for diabetes prevention in high-risk individuals.

resultsAt baseline, Ala12 carriers had larger waists (p < 0.001) and, in a subset, more subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT; lumbar 2/3; p = 0.04) than Pro12 homozygotes. There was a genotype-by-intervention interaction on 1-year weight change (p = 0.01); in the placebo arm, Pro12 homozygotes gained weight and Ala12 carriers lost weight (p = 0.001). In the metformin and lifestyle arms, weight loss occurred across genotypes, but was greatest in Ala12 carriers (p < 0.05). Troglitazone treatment induced weight gain, which tended to be greater in Ala12 carriers (p = 0.08). In the placebo group, SAT (lumbar 2/3, lumbar 4/5) decreased in Ala12 allele carriers, but was unchanged in Pro12 homozygotes (p < or = 0.005). With metformin treatment, SAT decreased independently of genotype. In the lifestyle arm, SAT (lumbar 2/3) reductions occurred across genotypes, but were greater in Ala12 carriers (p = 0.03). A genotype-by-PUFA intake interaction on reduction in visceral fat (lumbar 4/5; p = 0.04) was also observed, which was most evident with metformin treatment (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationWithin the Diabetes Prevention Program, the Ala12 allele influences central obesity, an effect which may differ by treatment group and dietary PUFA intake (ClinicalTrials.gov ID no: NCT00004992).
