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

The obesity gene product leptin plays an important role in the physiologic regulation of appetite and energy balance. Plasma leptin levels correlate closely with body fat storage and may respond to changes in energy expenditure. Recent evidence has implicated a direct cardiac regulatory action of leptin in addition to its well-established metabolic properties. Compelling evidence has indicated a link between abnormal leptin levels (hyper- or hypoleptinemia) and cardiac dysfunction. The leptin-deficient ob/ob mice have been used as a model for insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Leptin replenishment has been shown to restore the depressed cardiac contractile function in ob/ob mice, indicating a permissive role of leptin in cardiac function. The precise role of leptin or leptin deficiency on cardiac health has not been fully elucidated. This article briefly reviews leptin's physiologic role in cardiomyocyte structure and function and how leptin deficiency or disrupted signaling may trigger cardiac functional and morphologic abnormalities.
