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

Numerous members of the nuclear hormone receptor (NR) superfamily have been demonstrated to regulate metabolic function in a cell- and tissue-specific manner. This review brings together recent studies that have associated members of the NR superfamily, the orphan NR4A subgroup, with the regulation of metabolic function and disease. The orphan NR4A subgroup includes Nur77 (NR4A1), Nurr1 (NR4A2), and Nor-1 (NR4A3). Expression of these receptors is induced in multiple tissues by a diverse range of stimuli, including stimuli associated with metabolic function, such as: β-adrenoceptor agonists, cold, fatty acids, glucose, insulin, cholesterol, and thiazolidinediones. In vitro and in vivo gain- and loss-of-function studies in major metabolic tissues (including skeletal muscle, adipose, and liver cells and tissues) have associated the NR4A subgroup with specific aspects of lipid, carbohydrate, and energy homeostasis. Most excitingly, although these orphan receptors do not have known endogenous ligands, several small molecule agonists have recently been identified. The preliminary studies reviewed in this manuscript suggest that therapeutic exploitation of the NR4A subgroup may show utility against dyslipidemia, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
