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

Our aim was to examine longitudinal associations of triacylglyceride fatty acid (TGFA) composition with insulin sensitivity (IS) and β-cell function. Adults at risk for T2D (n = 477) had glucose and insulin measured from a glucose challenge at three time points over 6 years. The outcome variables Matsuda insulin sensitivity index, homeostatic model of assessment 2-percent sensitivity (HOMA2-%S), Insulinogenic Index over HOMA-IR (IGI/IR), and Insulin Secretion-Sensitivity Index-2 were computed from the glucose challenge. Gas chromatography quantified TGFA composition from the baseline. We used adjusted generalized estimating equation (GEE) models and partial least squares (PLS) regression for the analysis. In adjusted GEE models, four TGFAs (14:0, 16:0, 14:1n-7, and 16:1n-7 as mol%) had strong negative associations with IS, whereas others (e.g., 18:1n-7, 18:1n-9, 20:2n-6, and 20:5n-3) had strong positive associations. Few associations were seen for β-cell function, except for 16:0, 18:1n-7, and 20:2n-6. PLS analysis indicated four TGFAs (14:0, 16:0, 14:1n-7, and 16:1n-7) that clustered together and strongly related with lower IS. These four TGFAs also correlated highly (
