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

backgroundCharacterizing the lipid response to an oral glucose test (OGT) might improve our understanding of Equine Metabolic Syndrome. HYPOTHESIS/

objectivesTo describe the effects of an OGT on lipid metabolism and determine the value of measuring triglyceride and nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations in hyperinsulinemic (HI) and insulin-resistant (IR) horses. ANIMALS: Twenty horses including 7 HI-IR horses, 4 HI-non-IR horses, and 9 non-HI-non-IR horses (control).

methodsCross-sectional design. Horses underwent an OGT, with blood samples collected at 0, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. Insulin, glucose, triglyceride, and NEFA concentrations were measured and compared over time and between groups, with P < .05 considered significant.

resultsIn all horses, the OGT had a significant effect on triglyceride concentrations (median [interquartile range]: .35 [.30-.50] mmol/L at 0 minute vs .25 [.21-.37] mmol/L at 120 minutes, P = .005) and on NEFA concentrations (.1 [.1-.2] mEq/L at 0 minute vs .05 [.05-.1] mEq/L at 120 minutes, P = .0009). However, horses with HI and IR had higher triglyceride areas under the curve (AUC, 79.46 ± 46.59 vs 33.32 ± 6.75 mmol/L*min, P = .01) as well as NEFA AUC (9.1 ± 2.9 vs 6.0 ± 6.8 mEq/L*min, P = .03) than control horses. No significant difference was detected between control and HI non-IR horses. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Determining triglyceride and NEFA concentrations might help assess tissue insulin resistance during an OGT.
