Sexual Dimorphism in the Association of Serum Retinol-Binding Protein-4 With Long-Term Dynamic Metabolic Profiles in Non-Diabetes.

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
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association of circulating retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4) levels with long-term cardiometabolic risk profiles and whether sex disparity mattered. Methods: We included 784 non-diabetic participants aged 40 years and above from a well-defined community-based cohort at baseline in 2005 and they were invited to attend the on-site follow-up examination for two consecutive times with 3-year intervals in 2008 and 2011, respectively. Serum RBP4 was measured at baseline, and the anthropometry and biochemical measurements were performed at each visit. Generalized estimating equation models were used to assess the association of serum RBP4 levels with the dynamic changes in adiposity and glucolipid profile. Results: Based on all the baseline and the 3- and 6-year follow-up data, baseline serum RBP4 levels (each 1-unit of log Conclusions: Higher RBP4 levels are associated with longitudinal increase in adiposity and deteriorated glucolipid profile defined by repeated measurements. The associations differ in sex regarding to the 2-h post-loading glucose.
