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

CD36 is a transmembrane protein present in many tissues that is believed to facilitate inward fatty acid transport. Western blotting is the most widely used method to measure tissue CD36 protein content, but it is time consuming, technically demanding, and semiquantitative. To more precisely measure adipose tissue CD36 content we developed an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) after establishing that: 1) the anti-CD36 antibodies gave a single distinct band on traditional Western blots, and 2) the vast majority of adipocyte CD36 resides in the plasma membrane. By using serial dilutions of each sample and including a calibrator sample and quality control sample on each plate, we could achieve inter- and intra-assay variability of ∼ 10%. We found that CD36 content in omental and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue varied over a 2-5-fold range depending upon the means of data expression (per units of tissue protein, weight, or lipid). Omental CD36 content in women decreased markedly (P = 0.01) as a function of fat cell size. For the most part, tissue CD36 content was not correlated with CD36 mRNA. This ELISA method for tissue CD36 content should enhance research into the role of this protein on tissue fatty acid uptake.
