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

BACKGROUND/

aimsMagnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) measures hepatic fat and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), but magnetic resonance studies are challenging in obese subjects. We aimed to evaluate the inter- and intrarater reliability and stability of hepatic fat and ATP measurements in a cohort of overweight and obese adults.

methodsWe measured hepatic fat and ATP using proton MRS ((1)H MRS) and phosphorus MRS ((31)P MRS) at baseline in adults enrolled in the Action for Health in Diabetes (Look AHEAD) clinical trial at one site. Using logistic regression, we determined factors associated with successful MRS data acquisition. We calculated the intra- and inter-rater reliability for hepatic fat and ATP based on 20 scans analysed twice by two readers. We also calculated the stability of these measures three times on five healthy volunteers.

resultsOf 244 participants recruited into our ancillary study, 185 agreed to MRS. We obtained usable hepatic fat data from 151 (82%) and ATP data from 105 (58%). Obesity was the strongest predictor of failed data acquisition; every unit increase in the body mass index reduced the likelihood of successful fat data by 11% and ATP data by 14%. The inter- and intrarater reliability were excellent for fat (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.99), but substantially more variable for ATP. Fat measures appeared relatively stable, but this was less true for ATP.

conclusionsObesity can hinder (1)H and (31)P MRS data acquisition and subsequent analysis. This impact was greater for hepatic ATP than hepatic fat.
