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/hypothesisWe examined the extent to which surrogate measures of insulin release have shared genetic causes.

methodsGenetic and phenotypic correlations were calculated in a family cohort (n = 315) in which beta cell indices were estimated based on fasting and oral glucose-stimulated plasma glucose, serum C-peptide and serum insulin levels. Furthermore, we genotyped a large population-based cohort (n = 6,269) for common genetic variants known to associate with type 2 diabetes, fasting plasma glucose levels or fasting serum insulin levels to examine their association with various indices.

resultsWe found a notable difference between the phenotypic and genetic correlations for the traits, emphasising that the phenotypic correlation is an insufficient measure of the magnitude of shared genetic impact. In addition, we found that corrected insulin response, insulinogenic index and incAUC for insulin after an oral glucose challenge shared the majority of their genetic backgrounds, with genetic correlations of 0.80-0.99. The BIGTT index for acute insulin response differed slightly more from the latter with genetic correlations of 0.78-0.87. The HOMA for beta cell function was genetically closely related to fasting insulin with a genetic correlation of 0.85. The effects of 82 selected susceptibility single nucleotide polymorphisms on these insulin secretion indices supported our interpretation of the data and added insight into the biological differences between the examined traits. CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationThe level of shared genetic background varies between surrogate measures of insulin release, and this should be considered when designing a genetic association study to best obtain information on various mechanisms of insulin release.
