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

backgroundThe atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is the base-10 logarithmic conversion of the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio [AIP = log10 (triglyceride/HDL cholesterol)]. Some studies have found a link between low serum vitamin D levels, AIP, and fatty liver. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between AIP levels, fatty liver, and vitamin D levels in obese adolescents aged 10-17 years.

methodsThis study included 136 adolescents, including 83 obese and 53 healthy controls, in the age range of 10-17 years. Thirty-nine of the obese adolescents had fatty livers. Those with ultrasonography grades 2 or 3 of fat were in the fatty liver group. The AIP value was calculated as the logarithmic conversion of the ratio (triglyceride/HDL cholesterol) at the base of 10. Vitamin D and other laboratory tests were analyzed biochemically. Statistical evaluations were made with the SPSS program.

resultsThe AIP, body mass index (BMI), homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and insulin averages of obese adolescents with fatty liver were significantly higher than those of obese adolescents without fatty liver and the healthy control group (

conclusionAIP levels were higher in obese adolescents, and this increase was higher in obese adolescents with fatty liver in this study. Moreover, we detected a negative correlation between AIP and vitamin D levels and a positive correlation with BMI, insulin resistance, and insulin levels. Based on our data, we concluded that AIP can be a useful predictor of fatty liver in obese adolescents.
