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

Cardiovascular mortality is still excessively high, despite the considerable progress made in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Although many cardiovascular risk factors (such as arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, etc.), identified in the general population, are being promptly treated, to date little consideration is given to a cardiovascular risk factor which we believe has largely demonstrated in the scientific literature of the last three decades that, if neglected, can produce a series of relevant negative effects on the cardiovascular system: insulin resistance (IR)/hyperinsulinemia (Hyperins). This risk factor is still not sufficently sought in the general population and, consequently, is not treated promptly, as it should be, to avoid its negative impact on the cardiovascular system. IR's prevalence is constantly growing worldwide, and it is estimated to have reached a prevalence of 51% of the general population in developed and developing countries, and Hyperins is a constant and strong feature of IR. This article aims to stimulate the scientific community towards IR/Hyperins as relevant cardiovascular risk factor, since it is still neglected. The scientific literature analyzed and used to for this article was found on PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, etc, using the following keywords: insulin, insulin signaling, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, cardiovascular risk factors, cardiovascular system, cardiovascular diseases. We selected studies that explored the association between IR/Hyperins and the cardiovascular system, and those that discussed the possibilities of screening and treatment of IR/Hyperins.
