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

backgroundThe present studies were designed to investigate the changes in gene expression during in vitro incubation of human visceral omental adipose tissue explants as well as fat cells and nonfat cells derived from omental fat.

methodsAdipose tissue was obtained from extremely obese women undergoing bariatric surgery. Explants of the tissue as well as fat cells and the nonfat cells derived by digestion with collagenase were incubated for 20 minutes to 48 h. The expression of interleukin 1beta [IL-1beta], tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNFalpha], interleukin 8 [IL-8], NFkappaB(1)p50 subunit, hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha [HIF1alpha], omentin/intelectin, and 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 [11beta-HSD1] mRNA were measured by qPCR as well as the release of IL-8 and TNFalpha.

resultsThere was an inflammatory response at 2 h in explants of omental adipose tissue that was reduced but not abolished in the absence of albumin from the incubation buffer for IL-8, IL-1beta and TNFalpha. There was also an inflammatory response with regard to upregulation of HIF1alpha and NFkappaB1 gene expression that was unaffected whether albumin was present or absent from the medium. In the nonfat cells derived by a 2 h collagenase digestion of omental fat there was an inflammatory response comparable but not greater than that seen in tissue. The exception was HIF1alpha where the marked increase in gene expression was primarily seen in intact tissue. The inflammatory response was not seen with respect to omentin/intelectin. Over a subsequent 48 h incubation there was a marked increase in IL-8 mRNA expression and IL-8 release in adipose tissue explants that was also seen to the same extent in the nonfat cells incubated in the absence of fat cells.

conclusionThe marked inflammatory response seen when human omental adipose tissue is incubated in vitro is reduced but not abolished in the presence of albumin with respect to IL-1beta, TNFalpha, IL-8, and is primarily in the nonfat cells of adipose tissue.
