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

objectiveThe study objective was to determine whether associations between a genetic risk score (GRS) for insulin resistance (IR) and measures of insulin sensitivity differ by race and/or BMI status in African American (AA) and European American (EA) adults without diabetes.

methodsFifty-three AA and 54 EA participants were classified into "high" or "low" BMI groups using the sample median (25.9 kg/m

resultsIn EA participants, associations of GRS with HOMA-IR and the Matsuda index differed by BMI status, where the GRS was associated with IR in the high-BMI group only. In AA participants, associations from the clamp differed by BMI status, but an association was observed only in the low-BMI group.

conclusionsThese results highlight the heterogeneity of IR and support the hypothesis that the relationship between genetic predisposition for IR and obesity is race- and tissue-specific.
