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

scopeInsulin responses to standardized meals differ between individuals. This variability may in part be explained by genotype. This systematic review evaluates associations between genotype and insulin response to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in terms of insulin area under the curve (AUC). METHODS AND

resultsThree electronic databases (Web of Science, Embase, PubMed) were searched for studies investigating associations between insulin AUC after an OGTT and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) belonging to the transcription factor 7 like 2 (TCF7L2) gene, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) gene, or the potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 11 (KCNJ11) gene in persons without diabetes. A total of 5199 articles were identified, of which 38 were included. Among them were family-based studies (9), twin studies (2), and studies with unrelated participants (27). Seventeen articles investigated TCF7L2 (7 SNPs), 14 investigated PPARγ (1 SNP), and 8 investigated KCNJ11 (5 SNPs). For all investigated SNPs, at least half of the reports indicated no statistically significant association with postprandial insulin AUC.

conclusionNo evidence was found for associations between TCF7L2, PPARγ, and KCNJ11 genotypes and insulin AUC after an OGTT. Future studies should investigate the effect of genetic risk scores on postprandial insulin.
