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

introductionIntermittent fasting (IF) is becoming increasingly popular as a method of weight management, but it is unknown whether it affects plasticiser intake with resultant changes in glycaemic control in diabetes and vitamin D (VitD) levels; therefore, this study was undertaken in a cohort of control and type-2 diabetic (T2D) subjects during Ramadan time-restricted feeding (TRF).

methodsIn T2D subjects (

resultsT2D subjects were older (52 versus 36.73 years,

conclusionRamadan TRF is associated with changes in plasticiser metabolite levels, with estimated increased levels in T2D subjects versus healthy controls. Metabolite levels were influenced by HbA1c and vitamin D, though BMI was not observed to be a contributing factor.
