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

Objective: The role of serum fatty acids in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains unclear. We aimed to assess and compare the associations of multiple serum unsaturated fatty acids with the prevalence of T2DM to elucidate their heterogeneous relationship profiles. Methods: This study used the data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (2003-2004 and 2011-2012). Weighted proportional and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the associations of serum polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) with T2DM status and to adjust for potential confounders. Results: The study included 3760 individuals. Results of the multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that among the serum PUFAs, docosapentaenoic acid (DPAn3) (22:5 n3) was associated with lower odds of T2DM (odds ratio [OR]: 0.595, 95% CI: 0.375-0.942, Conclusions: Our findings suggest that several serum n-3 and n-6 PUFAs are inversely associated with T2DM prevalence, whereas some n-9 MUFAs are positively associated with T2DM prevalence. These findings provide comprehensive descriptive data on the serum fatty acid profile in relation to T2DM and underscore the heterogeneity of associations across individual fatty acid species.
