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

purposeObesity, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress. In adults, increased lipid peroxidation, a marker of oxidative stress, was found in both metabolic syndrome and OSA. Studies on oxidative stress in children with T2DM and OSA are scarce.

methodsPlasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) levels were evaluated in obese children and adolescents with/without T2DM, and the contribution of OSA to oxidative stress was investigated.

resultsTen patients with T2DM, 8 with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and 20 body mass index-standard deviation score (BMI-SDS)-matched non-diabetic children (controls) were studied. They all underwent overnight polysomnography. Fasting plasma concentrations of Ox-LDL were measured and compared to the glycemic status and to the presence of OSA. Fourteen patients (36%) were diagnosed with OSA and 21 (55%) with hypertension. There were no significant group differences in plasma Ox-LDL levels or between patients with/without OSA. Plasma Ox-LDL levels were significantly higher among patients with hypertension compared to controls (P = 0.01), while they correlated with homeostasis model assessment (P = 0.02), BMI-SDS (P = 0.049), and systolic blood pressure (P = 0.002).

conclusionsThe findings of this pilot study suggest that increased lipid peroxidation is associated with insulin resistance and hypertension in obese children and adolescents, while OSA has most likely minor influence.
