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

backgroundInsulin resistance and associated metabolic health symptoms remain a primary global health concern. In addition to healthy dietary and nutritional programs, sleep duration is closely related to and has been linked to healthy metabolism. This study aimed to determine the link between insulin resistance and sleep duration and the dietary intake of live microbes.

methodsData were collected from 15,927 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database from 2005 to 2018; this sample is equivalent to 209,316,590 individuals in the United States. The participants were categorized according to their consumption of foods containing live microbes: low, medium, high, and medium-high. The relationship between diets containing live microbes and the triglyceride-glucose index was analysed using a weighted multivariate linear regression model with a multistage sampling approach. The individuals were deemed to have insulin resistance if their homeostatic model assessment score for insulin resistance was ≥ 2. The relationship between diets containing live microbes and insulin resistance status was assessed using weighted multivariate logistic regression analyses. The mediating role of sleep duration on the relationship between diets containing live microbes and the triglyceride-glucose index was also examined.

resultsAfter accounting for potential confounders, diets containing live microbes at medium and medium-high levels were significantly associated with a reduced triglyceride-glucose index. The medium and medium-high levels of live microbial intake were also associated with a lower risk of insulin resistance. Within the 6-9 hours' sleep duration range, the indirect effect of medium and medium-high levels of live microbes on the triglyceride-glucose index was observed, accounting for 2.95% and 6.08% of the overall change, respectively.

conclusionsThis study suggests an association between a diet rich in medium and medium-high viable microbes, lower triglyceride-glucose index values, and a reduced risk of developing insulin resistance. Additionally, a sleep duration of 6-9 h may mediate this association.
