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

Fatty acid-binding protein 5 (Fabp5), exhibits an important role in binding free fatty acids, as well as regulating lipid metabolism and transport. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of Fabp5 during adipogenesis. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were selected as cell differentiation model and short interfering RNAs (siRNA) against Fabp5 (siFabp5) were prepared. Our results showed that two potent siFabp5 specifically inhibited endogenous expression of Fabp5 at both mRNA and protein level. SiFabp5 had little effect on undifferentiated 3T3-L1 fibroblasts. However, during adipocytic induction, 3T3-L1 preadipocytes transfected with siFabp5 significantly reduced cell viability, as well as increased both caspase-3 activity and procaspase-3 cleavage. Furthermore, we illustrated that knockdown Fabp5 inhibited the expression of PPARγ and C/EBPα during adipocytic induction. In conclusion, our data suggests that Fabp5 is crucial in maintaining the viability of preadipocytes during adipogenesis via the activation of Akt cascade, and decreased Fabp5 expression induce differentiating preadipocytes apoptosis via caspase-3 activation.
