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

AIM AND

methodsThe high-density lipoprotein 2 cholesterol (HDL2-C) to HDL3-C ratio is associated with insulin resistance, high-molecular-weight adiponectin (HMW-Ad), and metabolic syndrome (MetS) components and is useful for evaluating MetS in Japanese individuals. We investigated potential associations between changes in HDL2-C/HDL3-C and changes in MetS components, insulin resistance, adipocytokine, lipids, and lifestyle habits in 892 Japanese subjects who underwent annual health examinations twice at a mean interval of 1.1 years. Study subjects were divided into three groups on the basis of HDL2-C/HDL3-C changes.

resultsAverage changes in waist circumference (WC) and HDL-C were significantly lower and higher, respectively, in the 0 to <0.5 and ≥0.5 HDL2-C/HDL3-C change groups compared with those in the reference group (<0 HDL2-C/HDL3-C change). Among MetS components, average changes in HDL2-C/HDL3-C were associated with changes in WC and HDL-C. Average changes in HMW-Ad and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance were significantly higher and lower, respectively, in the ≥0.5 HDL2-C/HDL3-C change group compared with those in the reference group. In addition, the average low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) gradually decreased as HDL2-C/HDL3-C increased. The average change in LDL-C was significantly lower in the 0 to <0.5 and ≥0.5 HDL2-C/HDL3-C change groups than in the reference group. Moreover, a ≥0.5 HDL2-C/HDL3-C change positively correlated with good lifestyle statuses in terms of smoking, physical activity, and alcohol consumption.

conclusionChanges in HDL2-C/HDL3-C inversely correlated with changes in WC, insulin resistance, and LDL-C and positively correlated with HMW-Ad and good lifestyle habits. Therefore, HDL2-C/HDL3-C changes comprise a useful marker for both MetS and atherogenic conditions in Japanese population.
