The effect of lifestyle intervention in obesity on the soluble form of activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule.
Article in BMC endocrine disorders, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a lifestyle intervention in obesity on the soluble form of the activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (sALCAM) and its association with metabolic parameters.
methodsTwenty-nine obese subjects selected from the OPTIFAST®52 program. This program consisted into 2 crucial phases: an initial 12-week active weight reduction phase, followed by a 40-week weight maintenance phase. At baseline, after 12 weeks and at the end of the program, fasting glucose and insulin, total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides, adiponectin, leptin, high sensitivity CRP, sALCAM, homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and leptin-to-adiponectin-ratio were determined. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed when indicated.
resultsAt baseline, the serum concentration of sALCAM was increased and correlated positively with HOMA-IR and negatively with age. At the end of the program, sALCAM concentrations decreased significantly. Multivariate analysis showed that sALCAM significantly correlated with age, glucose concentration after 2 h OGTT and the HOMA-IR. A higher decrease of HOMA-IR during the study was observed in subjects with higher concentration of sALCAM at baseline.
conclusionssALCAM might be a novel biomarker in obesity that correlates and predicts insulin sensitivity improvement and that can be affected by lifestyle intervention.
