Association between the levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids and blood lipids in healthy individuals.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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 levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in blood is closely associated with the status of the health of individuals; in particular, the lack of ω-3 fatty acids may lead to the development of numerous diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of PUFAs, and their correlation with triglycerides and other factors in blood. The levels of PUFAs and blood lipids were detected in 156 healthy individuals; the blood samples were tested by combined thin-layer and gas liquid chromatographic analysis. The level of ω-3 fatty acids was low in the subjects and the ω-3 index was 4.25%, while the ω-6:ω-3 ratio was at a satisfactory level. There was a strong inverse correlation between ω-3 fatty acids and triglycerides, and a strong positive correlation between ω-3 fatty acids and high density lipoprotein (HDL). Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid were inversely correlated with triglycerides, and positively correlated with HDL. In conclusion, ω-3 fatty acids are able to adjust the levels of blood lipids, and lower the levels of triglycerides, which may contribute to human health.
