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

objectiveTo study body composition, measures of insulin resistance and dyslipidemia in Indian men with paraplegia as compared to age and body mass index (BMI) matched able-bodied men.

designCross sectional study.

settingDepartments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Endocrinology.

participantsMales aged 18-45 years with chronic traumatic paraplegia versus age and BMI-matched able-bodied men.

interventionsNone.

main outcome measuresMeasures of body composition such as total body fat, lean mass, regional adiposity using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), metabolic profile and insulin resistance.

resultsSubjects with paraplegia (

conclusionMen with chronic paraplegia had lower lean mass, higher total and regional fat mass, increased insulin resistance and low HDL-C when compared with BMI-matched able-bodied controls. Both total and regional adiposity correlated with poor metabolic profile.
