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

Introduction: Hyperinsulinemia in the absence of impaired glucose tolerance and normal HbA1c is considered indicative of pre-diabetes. Very few Indian studies have focused on hyperinsulinemia particularly in young adults. The present study aimed to determine whether hyperinsulinemia may be present despite HbA1c being normal. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on adolescents and young adults aged 16-25 years living in Mumbai, India. The participants attended various academic institutions and were those who underwent screening as the first step of a clinical trial for studying the efficacy of almond intake in prediabetes. Results: Among this young population (n=1313), 4.2% (n=55) of the participants were found to be prediabetic (ADA criteria) and 19.7% of them had HbA1c levels between 5.7%-6.4%. However, almost, 30.5% had hyperinsulinemia inspite of normal blood glucose levels and normal HbA1c. Among those with HbA1c<5.7 (n=533), 10.5% (n=56) participants had fasting insulin>15 mIU/L and a higher percentage (39.4%, n=260) had stimulated insulin above 80 mIU/L. These participants had higher mean anthropometric markers than those with normal fasting and/or stimulated insulin. Conclusion: Hyperinsulinaemia in the absence of impaired glucose tolerance and normal HbA1c may provide a much earlier indicator of detection for risk of metabolic disease and progression to metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus.
