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

Despite the fact that circulating levels of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) remain unchanged after fat load in healthy lean individuals, PCSK9 has been suggested to have a role in postprandial lipemia regulation in obese individuals. On the other hand, intestinal permeability and endotoxemia have been observed to increase more in obese individuals than in non-obese individuals after a lipid load. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between PCSK9, intestinal permeability, and endotoxemia after a high fat load in obese individuals. We included 39 individuals with morbid obesity. Serum PCSK9 levels, intestinal permeability marker (zonulin), endotoxemia markers (LPS and LBP), and lipid parameters were measured before and after 3 h of fat load. A significant rise in triglycerides, apolipoprotein A1, zonulin, LPS, and LBP, and a significant decline in PCSK9, were observed after a lipid load. Linear regression analysis showed that low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was independently related to PCSK9 at baseline, whereas both zonulin and LDL-C were independently related to PCSK9 levels after fat load. A relationship between zonulin and PCSK9 levels after fat load in individuals with morbid obesity may exist.
