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

backgroundWith increased rates of obesity and insulin resistance in youth, development of postprandial dyslipidemia, an important cardiovascular disease risk factor, is a concern. Glucagon-like peptides (ie, GLP-1 and GLP-2) and bile acids have been shown to regulate dietary fat absorption and postprandial lipids in animal models and humans. We hypothesize that the physiological response of GLPs and bile acids to dietary fat ingestion is impaired in adolescents with obesity and this associates with marked postprandial dyslipidemia and insulin resistance.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, normal weight adolescents and adolescents with obesity underwent a 6-hour oral fat tolerance test. The postprandial lipoprotein phenotype profile was determined using various assays, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, to characterize lipoprotein particle number, size, lipid content, and apolipoproteins. GLP-1 and GLP-2 were quantified by electrochemiluminescent immunoassays. Total bile acids were measured by an automated enzymatic cycling colorimetric method and the bile acid profile by mass spectrometry.

resultsAdolescents with obesity exhibited fasting and postprandial dyslipidemia, particularly augmented postprandial excursion of large triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Postprandial GLPs were reduced and inversely correlated with postprandial dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. Postprandial bile acids were also diminished, particularly lithocholic acid, a potent stimulator of GLP-1 secretion.

conclusionBlunted postprandial GLP and bile acid response to dietary fat ingestion strongly associates with marked postprandial dyslipidemia. Further investigation is needed to assess their potential utility as early biomarkers for postprandial dyslipidemia in adolescents with obesity.
