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 diseases are the leading cause of death, disability, and health care costs in industrialized countries. In general, cardiovascular diseases occur in adulthood, but cardiovascular damage, including stiffening of the arteries, begins very early. Already in the first decade of life, alterations that will favor the formation of atherosclerotic plaques may be present. Cardiovascular risk factors, associated with genetic predisposition, may trigger a sequence of pathophysiological changes which are associated with the progression of the atherosclerosis process. In this frame, the role of obesity has been increasingly emphasized. Different mechanisms linking obesity to cardiovascular disease have been postulated. Endothelial dysfunction and subclinical inflammation seem to be related to the worsening of cardiovascular risk factors in obese subjects and might have an essential role in the development of insulin resistance and the initiation and progression of atherosclerotic lesions. Excess weight, and in particular visceral adiposity, are associated with hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the adipocytes, increased secretion of adipokines and inflammatory cytokines and increase in serum uric acid levels. The list of obesity-related biomarkers associated with cardiovascular damage is rapidly expanding and their importance has already been described in children as well. Pathophysiological changes involved in determining early cardiovascular damage starting from childhood are discussed in this Special Issue.
