Erythrocyte fatty acid composition and insulin sensitivity in daughters of Type 2 diabetic patients and women with no family history of diabetes.
Article in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThere is evidence that the impact of environmental factors on insulin sensitivity is modified by the presence of family history of diabetes.
aimTo compare the association between the erythrocyte phospholipid fatty acid composition (a biomarker of dietary fatty acids) and insulin sensitivity in daughters of Type 2 diabetic patients with the corresponding association in women without family history of diabetes. MATERIAL/SUBJECTS AND
methodsEighteen offspring of Type 2 diabetic patients [age 30+/-6.5 yr; body mass index (BMI) 22.2+/-2.5 kg/m2; body fat 31.8+/-5.1%] and 18 matched women (age 30.1+/-6.8 yr; BMI 22.2+/-1.8 kg/m2; body fat 32.2+/-6.0%) participated in the study.
resultsInsulin Sensitivity Index (ISI)-Matsuda tended to be lower (p=0.06) in the Offspring than the control group. Weight proportions of erythrocyte phospholipid saturated (SFA), polyunsaturated (PUFA), and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) were similar between the two groups. In the offspring, erythrocyte total SFA were negatively correlated with ISI-Matsuda [r=-0.47, p<0.05), ISI(gly)-Belfiore (r=-0.52, p<0.05) and ISI(ffa)-Belfiore (r=-0.53, p<0.05)], whereas total PUFA were positively correlated with insulin sensitivity [ISI-Matsuda, r=0.46, p<0.05; ISI(gly)-Belfiore, r=0.53, p<0.05; ISI(ffa)-Belfiore, r=0.54, p<0.05]. No significant correlations were observed in the control group.
conclusionsThe associations between erythrocyte fatty acid composition and insulin sensitivity are distinct between daughters of Type 2 diabetic patients and women without family history of diabetes.
