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

backgroundHigh-intensity interval exercise ameliorates the impairment of postprandial metabolic health (e.g., glucose control) that is observed after a night of inadequate sleep. It is unknown whether moderate-intensity walking can elicit similar effects.

methodsEleven healthy active males (age: 26 ± 2 yr; BMI: 22.8 ± 2.6 kg/m

resultsTotal glucose area under the curve (tAUC) was lower in NS trial (924 [95%CI 865, 982] mmol/L) compared to both SR (1012 [95% CI 945, 1080] mmol/L, p = 0.018) and SRE trials (1006 [933, 1080] mmol/L, p = 0.002) and there was no difference between SR and SRE (p = 1.00). Insulin tAUC did not differ between trials (p = 0.472). There were no differences in fasting cortisol, c-reactive protein, and non-esterified fatty acids, and fasting and postprandial triacylglycerols, cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase concentrations between trials (all, p > 0.05).

conclusionIn healthy physically active young males, a single night of partial sleep restriction results in a decrease in glucose tolerance during a 2-h OGTT performed the following morning and this impaired response is not rescued by 30 min of brisk walking immediately prior to the OGTT.
