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.

Abstract

aims/hypothesisHypertriacylglycerolaemia is a hallmark of diabetic dyslipidaemia with increased concentrations of triacylglycerol (TG)-rich VLDL1 particles. However, whether VLDL1 secretion or removal is abnormal in type 2 diabetes remains unclear. The aim of this study was to compare basal and insulin-mediated VLDL1- and VLDL2-TG kinetics in men with type 2 diabetes and healthy men using a novel direct VLDL1- and VLDL2-TG labelling method.

methodsTwelve men with type 2 diabetes and 12 healthy men matched for age and BMI were recruited. VLDL1- and VLDL2-TG turnover were measured during a 4 h basal period and a 3.5 h hyperinsulinaemic clamp period using a primed-constant infusion of ex vivo labelled VLDL1-TG and VLDL2-TG.

resultsBasal VLDL1-TG and VLDL2-TG secretion rates were similar in men with diabetes and healthy men. During hyperinsulinaemia, VLDL1-TG secretion rates were suppressed significantly in both groups, whereas no suppression of VLDL2-TG secretion rate was observed. VLDL1-TG to VLDL2-TG transfer rate was not significantly different from zero in both groups, while VLDL1-TG fatty acid oxidation rate was substantial, with a contribution to total energy expenditure of approximately 15% during postabsorptive conditions. VLDL1 and VLDL2 particle size (TG/apolipoprotein B [apoB] ratio) and apoB-100 concentration were unaltered by hyperinsulinaemia in men with type 2 diabetes, but significantly reduced in healthy men. CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationInsulin inhibits VLDL1-TG secretion rate similarly in age- and BMI-matched men with type 2 diabetes and healthy men, while VLDL2-TG secretion is unaltered by hyperinsulinaemia. However, VLDL1- and VLDL2-apoB levels are not lowered by hyperinsulinaemia in men with type 2 diabetes, which is indicative of a diminished hepatic response to insulin.
