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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveAlthough there is strong evidence linking obesity with increased sympathoneural activity, involvement of the adrenal medulla is less clear. We therefore investigated adrenal medullary function under fasting and feeding conditions in normal weight (NW, n=33), overweight (OW, n=28) and obese (OB, n=36) adults (59% women). SUBJECTS AND

methodsNinety-seven healthy adults participated in a cross-sectional study with recruitment stratified according to BMI. Plasma for catecholamines and metanephrines was sampled in the fasting state, at 30-min intervals during a 120-min glucose tolerance test and during an euglycaemic-hyperinsulinaemic clamp (40 mU m

resultsObese subjects had the lowest fasting plasma concentrations of epinephrine (NW: 0.17, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.14-0.20 nmol l

conclusionsWe provide evidence that adrenomedullary dysfunction is a characteristic feature of obesity that involves both reduced adrenal secretion of epinephrine and size of adrenal medullary epinephrine stores.
