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

There is a striking interaction of genes and environment in the etiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). While endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like bisphenol-A (BPA) have received special attention for their mechanistic role in metabolic disruption, there is a lack of clinically relevant data on BPA levels in Asian Indians, a population which is more susceptible to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, we measured systemic levels of BPA in patients with T2DM compared to individuals with normal glucose tolerance (n = 30 each). Serum BPA levels were estimated using ELISA kit, and biochemical determinations were done by standard protocols. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were used to profile the gene expression alterations with special reference to inflammation, estrogen receptors, and cellular senescence in these subjects. Serum levels of BPA were significantly higher in patients with T2DM compared to control individuals and positively correlated to poor glycemic control and insulin resistance. Patients with T2DM exhibited significantly elevated mRNA levels of senescence (GLB1, p16, p21, and p53) and inflammatory (IL6 and TNF-α) markers, shortened telomeres as well as elevated levels of estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRγ), a recently identified receptor for BPA. BPA levels were positively correlated to senescence indicators, inflammatory markers and ERRγ and negatively correlated to telomere length. Our study is the first data in the clinical diabetes setting to demonstrate an association of increased BPA levels with cellular senescence, proinflammation, poor glycemic control, insulin resistance, and shortened telomeres in patients with T2DM.
