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

Higher incidence of diabetes along with increased use of pesticides is seen in Southeast Asia. Recent hypothesis postulated a link between acetylcholinesterase inhibitor insecticides and type 2 diabetes through the GLP-1 pathway. This study compares the GLP-1 response between groups with low and high red blood cell acetylcholinesterase (RBC-AChE) activity. A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted amongst patients who were within 3 months after an acute organophosphate or carbamate poisoning (acute group) and amongst vegetable farmers with low (chronic group) and high (control group) RBC-AChE activity. Acute (366 mU/μM Hb) and chronic (361 mU/μM Hb) groups had significantly lower RBC-AChE activity in comparison to the control (471 mU/μM Hb) group (P < 0.0001). Only the acute group, which has had atropine therapy, showed a significantly lower 120 min value in comparison to the control group (P = 0.0028). Also, the acute group had significantly low late (P = 0.0287) and total (P = 0.0358) responses of GLP-1 in comparison to the control group. The findings of the study allude towards attenuation of GLP-1 response amongst patients after acute organophosphate and carbamate poisoning. The possibility of an atropine-mediated attenuation of GLP-1 response was discussed.
