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

The aim of this article is to longitudinally investigate racial differences in serum adiponectin and leptin in European-American (EA) and African-American (AA) women in the overweight and weight-reduced states. Sixty-two EA and 58 AA premenopausal women were weight reduced from body mass index (BMI) 27-30 kg/m(2) to BMI ≤ 24. Fasting serum adiponectin and leptin were determined; body composition and intra-abdominal adipose tissue (IAAT) were measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and computed tomography, respectively. In repeated-measure MANOVA, there was a significant race effect for IAAT and total fat mass; compared to AA women, EA women had higher IAAT and total fat mass (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.027, respectively). In the mixed-model for adiponectin that adjusted for IAAT, limb fat, and total fat, race was significantly associated with adiponectin (p = 0.046). AA women had significantly lower adjusted adiponectin compared to EA women at baseline [7.67 (6.85, 8.60) vs. 9.32 (8.34, 10.4) μg/ml, p < 0.05] and following weight loss [9.75 (8.70, 10.9) vs. 11.8 (10.6, 13.2) μg/ml, p < 0.05]. In a mixed-model for leptin that adjusted for insulin, estradiol, and fat mass, race was significantly associated with leptin (p < 0.0001). AA women had significantly higher adjusted leptin compared to EA women at baseline [24.7 (22.3, 27.4) vs. 19.9 (18.1, 21.8) ng/dl, p < 0.05] and following weight loss [11.7 (10.2, 13.3) vs. 8.48 (7.50, 9.57) ng/dl, p < 0.05]. Despite having a more favorable body fat distribution, AA women had lower adjusted adiponectin and higher leptin. Differences in body composition and fat distribution do not appear to be significant factors in explaining lower adiponectin and higher leptin in AA women.
