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

Mounting evidence supports the central role of oxidative stress and inflammation in obesity and the development of hypertension. However, most studies focusing on the non-enzymatic antioxidants, such as uric acid and bilirubin, and their relationship with obesity and hypertension were done in older populations with overt cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was therefore to compare measures of cardiovascular function (blood pressure and arterial stiffness) and non-enzymatic antioxidants (uric acid and bilirubin) between young healthy lean and overweight/obese men and women and to investigate the link between these variables. We grouped 967 men and women (aged 20-30 years) according to body mass index (BMI) categories (lean BMI < 25 kg/m
