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

Mice and humans lacking functional caveolae are dyslipidemic and have reduced fat stores and smaller fat cells. To test the role of caveolins/caveolae in maintaining lipid stores and adipocyte integrity, we compared lipolysis in caveolin-1 (Cav1)-null fat cells to that in cells reconstituted for caveolae by caveolin-1 re-expression. We find that the Cav1-null cells have a modestly enhanced rate of lipolysis and reduced cellular integrity compared with reconstituted cells as determined by the release of lipid metabolites and lactic dehydrogenase, respectively, into the media. There are no apparent differences in the levels of lipolytic enzymes or hormonally stimulated phosphorylation events in the two cell lines. In addition, acute fasting, which dramatically raises circulating fatty acid levels in vivo, causes a significant upregulation of caveolar protein constituents. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that caveolae protect fat cells from the lipotoxic effects of elevated levels fatty acids, which are weak detergents at physiological pH, by virtue of the property of caveolae to form detergent-resistant membrane domains.
