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

backgroundPrediabetes is an early stage of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that is prevalent around the world. A combination of genetic and lifestyle factors is contributed in conversion of prediabetes to T2DM. The present study aimed to investigate the association of the ITLN1 gene Val109Asp polymorphism with dietary patterns, glycemic factors, and anthropometric indices in women with prediabetes.

methodsThis cross-sectional study was carried out on 202 women with prediabetes aged 18-65 years who were selected from the healthcare center using the convenience sampling method. Fasting blood samples, anthropometric measurements, and information about the dietary intake of the participants were collected. The ITLN1 gene Val109Asp polymorphism genotypes were recognized by the high-resolution melting-polymerase chain reaction (HRM-PCR) method. Dietary patterns were obtained by exploratory factor analysis and JASP software. Data analyses were conducted by analysis of covariance and ordinal regression using IBM SPSS Statistics software.

resultsAA, AT, and TT genotypes of the ITLN1 polymorphism were found in 15.8%, 52.0%, and 32.2% of participants, and three dietary patterns, including vegetarian, high-fat, and mixed dietary patterns, were extracted. According to the ordinal regression, participants in the AT genotype had a lower chance of having a high-fat dietary pattern compared to the AA genotype (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) (CI 95%): 0.466 (0.219, 0.989), p = 0.047). The ANCOVA test also indicated that participants with the AT (Mean difference (MD) (CI 95%): -3.073 (-5.245, -0.901), p = 0.007) and TT (MD (CI 95%): -3.188 (-5.513, -0.862), p = 0.006) genotypes had a decreased body weight compared to the AA genotype. Moreover, women in the TT genotype group had higher waist circumference compared to the AA genotype (MD (CI 95%): 2.557 (0.060, 5.055), p = 0.045). Individuals with genotypes AT (MD (CI 95%): 0.028 (0.011, 0.044), p = 0.001) and TT (MD (CI 95%): 0.022 (0.005, 0.040), p = 0.013) also have higher WHthR compared to the AA genotype. There was no significant association between the ITLN1 polymorphism genotypes and glycemic parameters in the adjusted model.

conclusionThe findings revealed a link between the ITLN1 Val109Asp polymorphism and dietary pattern 2 and general and central obesity in women with prediabetes. Further well-designed studies are required to confirm these findings and clarify the association of the ITLN1 polymorphism with glycemic factors.
