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

backgroundThe issue of obesity is becoming more and more prominent. Understanding the metabolic profile of obese young adults and finding possible risk markers for early prediction and intervention is of great importance.

methodsA total of 13,082 college students with an average age of 20 years were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The lipid composition was measured and novel lipid profiles such as AIP, AI, LCI, Non-HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C and TyG were calculated. Participants were then assessed as normal weight, overweight or obese based on their BMI. Pearson correlation analysis, multivariate logistic analysis, and predictive analysis were used to assess the association and discriminative power between lipid profile and obesity.

resultsThe prevalence of obesity with dyslipidemia was 61.0% in males and 38.7% in females. Most obese patients were associated with only one dyslipidemia component, with the highest proportion having low HDL-C. We found a positive correlation between all lipid profiles except HDL-C and BMI. Multivariate logistics regression shows, AIP were strongly associated with obesity, which shows the largest OR = 12.86, 95%CI (9.46,17.48).

conclusionsIn the youth population, higher AIP levels were positively and strongly associated with obesity. AIP may be a novel and better risk biomarker for predicting obesity.
