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

Serum branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) and aromatic amino acids (AAAs) are associated with obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We investigated the levels of these amino acids in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and examined their changes in response to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). 110 women were enrolled and underwent a 75-g OGTT during their second trimester; 43 women were diagnosed with GDM and 67 women did not have GDM (non-GDM women). During the OGTT, fasting, 1-h, and 2-h blood samples were obtained. BCAA and AAA levels were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The differences in BCAA and AAA levels between GDM and non-GDM women were not evident during fasting but became significant after glucose loading. Glucose ingestion decreased the levels of BCAAs and AAAs in both groups. Notably, GDM women showed a delayed and blunted decrease in these amino acids compared to non-GDM women. The risks of 2-h changes in BCAAs and AAAs for GDM women were significant. We identified that the differences in BCAA and AAA levels between GDM women and controls, which were not evident during fasting, could be provoked by performing an OGTT.
