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

backgroundReceptor-interacting protein 140 (RIP140) is a corepressor for nuclear receptors with an important role in the inhibition of energy expenditure. Rip140-knockout mice are lean and resistant to diet-induced obesity due to an increase in mitochondrial biogenesis, fatty acid oxidation, and oxidative phosphorylation. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of morbid obesity on gene and protein expression levels of RIP140 in visceral adipose tissue (VAT).

methodsVAT biopsies obtained from 17 subjects were used in the study. Patients were classified as lean (body mass index [BMI]=21.8+/-1.3 kg/m2) or obese (BMI=48.2+/-2.6 kg/m2). Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analyses were performed to quantify the expression levels of RIP140 in VAT. We also analyzed glucose and lipid profile as well as some inflammatory factors.

resultsObese patients exhibited significantly lower RIP140 mRNA expression levels compared to lean subjects (lean=1.00+/-0.17 arbitrary units, obese=0.65+/-0.18 arbitrary units; P<0.05). Protein expression of RIP140 followed the same trend, being significantly higher in lean volunteers (lean=1.00+/-0.18 arbitrary units, obese=0.45+/-0.11 arbitrary units; P<0.05). Furthermore, a significant negative correlation was found between RIP140 protein levels and both BMI (rho=-0.85; P<0.001) and body fat percentage (rho=-0.88; P<0.001).

conclusionsThe lower gene and protein expression levels of RIP140 in obese subjects may suggest a compensatory mechanism in order to favor energy expenditure and reduce fat accumulation in obesity states.
