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

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and hypovitaminosis D. Our aim was to determine whether vitamin D mediates inflammation and oxidative stress, assessed through selected biomarkers, in children with obesity and/or MetS. Eighty children with normal weight, overweight, or obesity were analyzed for serum vitamin D, C-reactive protein, leukocytes, adiponectin, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, myeloperoxidase, interferon-inducible T-cell alpha chemoattractant (I-TAC/CXCL11), superoxide dismutase-1, fasting lipid and glucose levels, ultrasound-measured abdominal fat thickness, waist circumference, body mass index and blood pressure. Children with obesity or overweight had lower vitamin D levels, increased blood pressure, visceral and subcutaneous fat thickness, and higher leukocytes, C-reactive protein, and myeloperoxidase levels. Those with MetS also had lower adiponectin levels. Vitamin D levels are negatively correlated with body mass index, waist circumference, and visceral and subcutaneous fat thickness. Correlation, mediation, and regression analyses showed no link between vitamin D and inflammatory/oxidative stress variables. The novel biomarker I-TAC did not correlate with obesity or vitamin D status. Our results indicate that vitamin D does not significantly mediate inflammation or oxidative stress in children and adolescents with obesity and/or MetS. Selected inflammation/oxidative stress biomarkers appear to be altered primarily due to obesity rather than vitamin D status.
