Breakfast and dinner insulin index and insulin load in relation to overweight in children and adolescents.
Article in European journal of nutrition, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeHyperinsulinemia is related to the development of several chronic diseases, particularly obesity. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the association between the insulinemic potential of both total diet and meals, measured by the glycemic index (GI), glycemic load (GL), insulin index (II), and insulin load (IL), and overweight risk among children and adolescents.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 205 overweight and 146 normal-weight participants aged 6-18 years. Overweight was defined as body mass index ≥ 85th percentile of Turkish growth-reference data. Through the use of standard methodology, dietary and meal GI, GL, II, and IL were derived from dietary data collected via a 3-day dietary record. Associations were investigated using multivariable-adjusted regression analysis.
resultsWhen controlling for potential covariates, a greater dietary II (OR 2.69, 95% CI 1.28, 5.68) and IL (OR 5.22, 95% CI 2.39, 11.38), as well as GL (OR 3.89, 95% CI 1.77, 8.56), was strongly associated with higher odds of overweight (both P
conclusionOur results suggest that dietary insulin demand, particularly for breakfast and dinner, was independently associated with overweight in children and adolescents. These findings may shed light on the relevance of considering meal insulin demand while developing dietary strategies in this population.
