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

objectiveInsulin resistance develops prior to the onset of overt type 2 diabetes, making its early detection vital. Direct accurate evaluation is currently only possible with complex examinations like the stable isotope-based hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp (HIEC). Metabolomic profiling enables the detection of thousands of plasma metabolites, providing a tool to identify novel biomarkers in human obesity.

designLiquid chromatography mass spectrometry-based untargeted plasma metabolomics was applied in 60 participants with obesity with a large range of peripheral insulin sensitivity as determined via a two-step HIEC with stable isotopes [6,6-

resultsSeveral plasma metabolites were identified that significantly correlated with glucose and lipid fluxes, led by plasma (gamma-glutamyl)citrulline, followed by betaine, beta-cryptoxanthin, fructosyllysine, octanylcarnitine, sphingomyelin (d18:0/18:0, d19:0/17:0) and thyroxine. Subsequent machine learning analysis showed that a panel of these metabolites derived from a number of metabolic pathways may be used to predict insulin resistance, dominated by non-essential amino acid citrulline and its metabolite gamma-glutamylcitrulline.

conclusionThis approach revealed a number of plasma metabolites that correlated reasonably well with glycemic and lipolytic flux parameters, measured using gold standard techniques. These metabolites may be used to predict the rate of glucose disposal in humans with obesity to a similar extend as HOMA, thus providing potential novel biomarkers for insulin resistance.
