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

A combination of the interrelated metabolic risk factors obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, often described as the "metabolic syndrome," is known to increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase (SCD) activity has been implicated in the metabolic syndrome, but detailed studies of the beneficial metabolic effects of SCD deficiency have been limited. Here, we show that absence of the Scd1 gene product reduces plasma triglycerides and reduces weight gain in severely hyperlipidemic low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)-deficient mice challenged with a Western diet. Absence of SCD1 also increases insulin sensitivity, as measured by intraperitoneal glucose and insulin tolerance testing. SCD1 deficiency dramatically reduces hepatic lipid accumulation while causing more modest reductions in plasma apolipoproteins, suggesting that in conditions of sustained hyperlipidemia, SCD1 functions primarily to mediate lipid stores. In addition, absence of SCD1 partially ameliorates the undesirable hypertriglyceridemic effect of antiatherogenic liver X receptor agonists. Our results demonstrate that constitutive reduction of SCD activity improves the metabolic phenotype of LDLR-deficient mice on a Western diet.
