Impact of a FTO gene risk variant on variables of energy metabolism in adults with obesity class 2 and 3.
Article in Metabolism open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
purposeThe metabolic consequences of carrying a FTO obesity-promoting risk allele have not been fully elucidated and may be confounded by obesity PROCEDURES: We studied a similar number of participants with BMI classes 2-3 (median BMI 42.8 kg/m MAJOR
findingsBasal metabolic rate and postprandial energy expenditure did not differ between FTO-groups. However, fasting respiratory quotient (RQ) was increased in those carrying ≥1 risk allele (p = 0.008), whereas postprandial RQ was not.
conclusionIn this study population, the FTO-risk allele associates with fasting reduced fat and increased carbohydrate oxidation.
