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

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are known to be associated with cardiovascular disease risk in adults. The aim of this study is to investigate whether an increased cardiometabolic risk profile can be observed in the amino acid profile of young adult offspring of women with type 1 diabetes. This cross-sectional case-control study included 73 offspring born to women with type 1 diabetes (cases) and 82 control participants (controls). At the age of 18-23 years, they participated in a clinical assessment including laboratory tests and questionnaires. Amino acid levels were analyzed from venous serum samples after 10 h of fasting using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. No differences in cardiovascular disease or cardiometabolic risk factors were observed between the cases and the controls. Circulating amino acid levels were similar in both groups. The glucogenic score (combined alanine, glycine) was higher in overweight case men (case versus controls adjusted p = 0.015 (mean ratio 1.25 [95% CI 1.11 to 1.49]). The present findings do not support our hypothesis that serum amino acid profiles, determined in early adulthood, are associated with a more adverse cardiometabolic risk profile in offspring of women with type 1 diabetes. Further studies are warranted to clarify the potential role of amino acids in the development of cardiovascular disease in offspring of women with type 1 diabetes.
