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

Background: Human studies have linked obesity-related diseases, such as type-2 diabetes (T2D), to the modulation of endocannabinoid signaling. Cannabinoid CB Methods: Plasma and ileum samples were collected from subjects with obesity and harboring diverse degrees of insulin resistance or T2D, who underwent bariatric surgery. The levels of eCBome mediators and their congeners were then assessed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry, while gene expression was screened with qPCR arrays. Findings: Intestinal and circulating levels of eCBome mediators were higher in subjects with T2D. We found an inverse correlation between the intestinal and circulating levels of monoacylglycerols (MAGs). Additionally, we identified genes known to be implicated in both lipid metabolism and intestinal function that are altered by the context of obesity and glucose homeostasis. Interpretation: Although the impact of glucose metabolism on the eCBome remains poorly understood in subjects with advanced obesity state, our results suggest a strong causative link between altered glucose homeostasis and eCBome signaling in the intestine and the circulation.
