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

aimSignificant knowledge gaps exist regarding lipoprotein profiles in children with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The primary objective was to analyze the type and nature of lipoprotein abnormalities present in children with T2DM and to identify determinants of adverse lipoprotein profiles. The secondary objective was to assess associations with elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), i.e., <8% vs. ≥8.0% and pediatric dyslipidemias in the setting of T2DM.

methodsThis retrospective chart review included children with T2DM who had undergone lipoprotein analysis and were not on lipid lowering medications (n = 93).

resultsThe participants (mean age 15.2 ± 2.7y) were 71% female and 78% African American (AA). Adjusted for age, sex, and race, BMI z-score was positively associated with LDL-pattern B (pro-atherogenic profile with small dense LDL particles) (P = 0.01), and negatively associated with total HDL-C (P = 0.0003). HbA1C was robustly positively associated with the LDL-C, apoB and LDL pattern B (all P < 0.001). Patients with an HbA1C >8% had significantly higher total cholesterol (191.4 vs. 158.1 mg/dL,

conclusionHbA1C and BMI were associated with adverse lipoprotein profiles, and may represent two major modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in the pediatric T2DM population. Patients with an HbA1C higher than 8.0% had significantly worse atherogenic lipid profile, i.e., higher LDL-C, non-HDL-C, apoB and LDL pattern B, suggesting adequate glycemia may improve adverse lipoprotein profiles.
