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

objectiveTo describe the influence of the TTTA aromatase polymorphism (TTTAn) on the relation between obesity and plasma estradiol (E(2)) in obese men.

designA 2-year cohort study.

settingClinical research center. PATIENT(S): Severely obese men (31 who had had gastric bypass surgery and 118 controls). INTERVENTION(S): Men were genotyped for the TTTAn CYP19A1 polymorphism. Anthropomorphic measures, plasma E(2), and other hormonal levels were determined at baseline and 2-year follow-up. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURE(S): Relationships between weight and changes in weight and plasma E(2) were examined in relation to the TTTAn polymorphism. RESULT(S): The mean age was 46.5 ± 10.82 years, and mean body mass index was 47.1 ± 8.46 kg/m(2). The most common repeats were 7 and 11. TTTAn number did not correlate with plasma E(2) in the univariate analysis. When patients were stratified per weight group, the correlation between plasma E(2) and weight was seen only among men with a higher TTTA repeat at baseline and 2 years. Similarly, only men with higher TTTA exhibited reduced E(2) levels after weight loss. CONCLUSION(S): A higher TTTA repeat is associated with a strengthened relationship between obesity and E(2). The well-established effect of increased weight on plasma E(2) appears to be absent in men with low TTTA numbers.
