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

Individuals with an atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype (ALP) characterized by increased levels of small dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles tend to have greater adiposity compared to unaffected subjects. We sought to determine whether this may be related to alterations in energy substrate partitioning or efficiency. These were assessed by indirect calorimetry in men with ALP (ALP(+), n = 7) and unaffected controls (ALP(-), n = 8) during rest (30 min) and exercise (10 min). Gross, net and delta efficiencies were calculated during graded leg-cycle ergometry at workloads of 10 and 50 W. Respiratory exchange ratios (RER) were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in ALP(+) vs. ALP(-) during rest (0.86 ± 0.01 vs. 0.83 ± 0.02) and exercise at 10 W (0.88 ± 0.02 vs. 0.84 ± 0.02) and 50 W (0.92 ± 0.01 vs. 0.87 ± 0.01, respectively) (P < 0.05). Lipid oxidation (kcal/min) was lower in ALP(+) vs. ALP(-) during rest (0.56 ± 0.02 vs. 0.71 ± 0.07) and exercise at 10 W (1.52 ± 0.25 vs. 2.00 ± 0.20) and 50 W (1.28 ± 0.10 vs. 2.32 ± 0.22, respectively) (P < 0.05). Gross and net efficiencies were significantly increased (P = 0.005) in ALP(+) vs. ALP(-) at 10 W. RER was correlated positively with plasma triglyceride during exercise and inversely with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and LDL peak particle diameter during rest and exercise (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that increased muscular efficiency at low exercise intensity and reduced lipid oxidation during rest and exercise may contribute to both dyslipidemia and increased adiposity in individuals with ALP.
