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

aims/hypothesisA genome-wide association study in the Japanese population reported two genome-wide significant loci associated with type 2 diabetes of which the VPS13C/C2CD4A/C2CD4B locus was replicated in Europeans. We looked for potential associations between the diabetogenic VPS13C/C2CD4A/C2CD4B rs7172432 variant and diabetes-related intermediary traits.

methodsWe genotyped the rs7172432 variant in the population-based Inter99 cohort (n = 6,784) and analysed quantitative diabetes-related traits in 5,722 non-diabetic participants who all were examined by an OGTT.

resultsThe diabetes-associated A allele was associated with 0.60 cm higher waist circumference (p = 0.004), 0.037 mmol/l higher fasting plasma glucose (p = 4 × 10(-5)) and 0.11 mmol/l higher plasma glucose at 30 min during an OGTT (p = 4 × 10(-4)). In analyses adjusted for concomitant insulin sensitivity levels the diabetogenic allele was associated with a lower acute glucose-stimulated insulin response (GSIR) as estimated by 30 min serum insulin (β = -0.039, p = 2 × 10(-7)), insulinogenic index (β = -0.057, p = 1 × 10(-8)) and BIGTT-acute insulin release (β = -0.041, p = 9 × 10(-9)). As rs7172432 is situated in a region previously associated with glycaemic traits, we tested linkage disequilibrium (LD) with the reported regional lead single-nucleotide polymorphisms for fasting (rs11071657) and 2 h plasma glucose (rs17271305), and performed conditional analyses of rs7172432. Rs7172432 showed moderate LD with rs11071657 and rs17271305 (R (2) < 0.34) and we found strong association by almost unchanged effect sizes of rs7172432 with plasma glucose and estimates of GSIR in analyses conditional on rs11071657 and rs17271305. CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationThe diabetogenic VPS13C/C2CD4A/C2CD4B rs7172432 A allele associates with GSIR in non-diabetic individuals from the general population, suggesting an impaired beta cell function as an intermediary diabetes-related trait.
