Preliminary evidence of glycine as a biomarker of cardiovascular disease risk in children with obesity.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Glycine (GLY) is a substrate for a wide range of metabolic processes. Several preclinical and adult studies demonstrated inverse associations of GLY with obesity, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes. However, little evidence is available on relationships between GLY and CVD risk in children. We assessed links between circulating GLY and biomarkers of CVD in children with obesity. Participants included both male and females with normal weight (NW, n = 6) and obesity (OB, n = 15), with age 14-18 years and Tanner stage >IV. Concentrations of GLY, branched chain amino acids (BCAA), and 25-hydroxy vitamin-D [25(OH)D], glucose, insulin, adiponectin, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured using established techniques, and body composition by DXA. Homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated. Our study identified major relationships of GLY (p-value < 0.01 for all) of GLY with visceral fat (r
