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

Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived peptide hormone involved in energy homeostasis and the pathogenesis of obesity, including hypertension. Area postrema (AP) lacks a blood-brain barrier and is a critical homeostatic integration center for humoral and neural signals. Here we investigate the role of AP in adiponectin signaling. We show that rat AP expresses AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 adiponectin receptor mRNA. We used current-clamp electrophysiology to investigate whether adiponectin influenced membrane properties of AP neurons and found that approximately 60% of rat AP neurons tested were sensitive to adiponectin. Additional electrophysiology experiments coupled with single-cell reverse transcription-PCR indicated that all neurons that expressed both subtypes of receptor were sensitive to adiponectin, whereas neurons expressing only one subtype were predominantly insensitive. Last, microinjection of adiponectin into AP caused significant increases in arterial blood pressure, with no change in heart rate, suggesting that adiponectin acts at AP to provide a possible link between control of energy homeostasis and cardiovascular function.
