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

backgroundAdvanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate with age and development of cardiovascular disease. Higher AGEs have been shown in children with diabetes but little is known about their association with lifestyle conditions in childhood. We hypothesized that BMI, blood pressure and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are associated with subcutaneous AGEs formation in children.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 1075 children (aged 7.2 ± 0.4 years) were screened for subcutaneous AGEs (skin autofluorescence; SAF), body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), and CRF using standardized procedures. Group comparisons were performed in clinical BP and BMI categories and tertiles of CRF.

resultsChildren with higher physical fitness showed lower SAF (0.99(1.03;1.10)au) compared to children with low CRF (1.09(1.03;1.05)au, p < 0.001). An increase of one shuttle run stage was associated with a mean reduction in SAF of -0.033(CI: -0.042;-0.024)au, independent of BMI and BP (p < 0.001). BMI and BP were not independently associated with SAF-derived AGEs in this large cohort of primary school children.

conclusionsLow physical fitness but not BMI and BP were associated with higher levels of AGEs. Primary prevention programs in young children may need to focus on improving physical fitness in game settings in order to reduce the growing prevalence of metabolic disorders during childhood.
