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

objectiveTo identify, localize, and determine M1/M2 polarization of epidydimal adipose tissue (eAT) macrophages (Phis) during high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsMale C57BL/6 mice were fed an HFD (60% fat kcal) or low-fat diet (LFD) (10% fat kcal) for 8 or 12 weeks. eATMPhis (F4/80(+) cells) were characterized by in vivo fluorescent labeling, immunohistochemistry, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and quantitative PCR.

resultsRecruited interstitial macrophage galactose-type C-type lectin (MGL)1(+)/CD11c(-) and crown-like structure-associated MGL1(-)/CD11c(+) and MGL1(med)/CD11c(+) eATMPhis were identified after 8 weeks of HFD. MGL1(med)/CD11c(+) cells comprised approximately 65% of CD11c(+) eATMPhis. CD11c(+) eATMPhis expressed a mixed M1/M2 profile, with some M1 transcripts upregulated (IL-12p40 and IL-1beta), others downregulated (iNOS, caspase-1, MCP-1, and CD86), and multiple M2 and matrix remodeling transcripts upregulated (arginase-1, IL-1Ra, MMP-12, ADAM8, VEGF, and Clec-7a). At HFD week 12, each eATMPhi subtype displayed an enhanced M2 phenotype as compared with HFD week 8. CD11c(+) subtypes downregulated IL-1beta and genes mediating antigen presentation (I-a, CD80) and upregulated the M2 hallmark Ym-1 and genes promoting oxidative metabolism (PGC-1alpha) and adipogenesis (MMP-2). MGL1(med)/CD11c(+) eATMPhis upregulated additional M2 genes (IL-13, SPHK1, CD163, LYVE-1, and PPAR-alpha). MGL1(med)/CD11c(+) ATMPhis expressing elevated PGC-1alpha, PPAR-alpha, and Ym-1 transcripts were selectively enriched in eAT of obese mice fed pioglitazone for 6 days, confirming the M2 features of the MGL1(med)/CD11c(+) eATMPhi transcriptional profile and implicating PPAR activation in its elicitation.

conclusionsThese results 1) redefine the phenotypic potential of CD11c(+) eATMPhis and 2) suggest previously unappreciated phenotypic and functional commonality between murine and human ATMPhis in the development of obesity and its complications.
