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

backgroundRecently, the deleterious metabolic effects of visceral fat [visceral adipose tissue (VAT)] deposition were challenged, and liver fat emerged as having a key independent role in the modulation of cardiometabolic risk factors.

objectiveWe explored the relation between liver fat content and VAT in 3 ethnic groups and evaluated whether the ethnic differences in the distributions of lipoprotein concentrations and sizes were associated with the hepatic fat fraction (HFF), VAT, or both.

designIn a multiethnic group of 33 white, 33 African American, and 33 Hispanic obese adolescents with normal glucose tolerance, we measured VAT and HFF by using magnetic resonance imaging. Fasting lipoprotein particle number and size were measured by using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. To assess the association between VAT and HFF, we categorized VAT into tertiles.

resultsIn each ethnic group, HFF values increased between successive tertiles of VAT. After multivariate adjustment and in comparison with the 2 other groups, African Americans showed lower triglyceride (P = 0.001) and higher HDL (P = 0.03) concentrations, lower concentrations of total (P = 0.007), large (P = 0.005), and medium (P lt 0.0001) VLDL, but higher concentrations of large HDL particles (P = 0.01) and larger HDL (P = 0.005). In multivariate linear models, independent of ethnicity, VAT was a significant predictor for large HDL (P = 0.003) and total small LDL (P = 0.001) concentrations, whereas HFF significantly predicted large VLDL (P = 0.03) concentrations.

conclusionLiver fat accretion, independent of VAT, may play a role in the ethnic differences seen in large VLDL particles. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00536250.
