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

Perturbations of fatty acid content and pattern were recently documented in epididymal and parametrial lipids, as well as plasma, liver, spleen, and brain phospholipids and triglycerides of Goto-Kakizaki rats (GK). This study extends such an investigation to pancreatic islets from both control and GK rats. Groups of 5,500-14,560 islets were obtained from either control or GK rats (n = 3 in each case) and examined for their lipid fatty acid content. In the islet triglycerides, the major difference between control and GK rats, i.e., a higher C18:2ω6 content in GK rats, was similar to that found in liver triglycerides. In the islet phospholipids, however, a number of differences between control and GK rats, concerning saturated, monodesaturated, and long-chain polyunsaturated ω3 and ω6 fatty acids, were often not similar to those found in liver phospholipids. The present study reveals a number of anomalies in the fatty acid pattern of islet phospholipids in GK rats, often differing from those encountered in liver phospholipids. Such a tissue specificity was borne out by the finding that, even in control animals, the situation found in islet phospholipids differed from that recorded in liver phospholipids.
