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

TNF-α potently stimulates basal lipolysis in adipocytes, which may contribute to hyperlipidemia and peripheral insulin resistance in obesity. Recent studies show that adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) act sequentially in catalyzing the first two steps of adipose lipolysis in response to β-adrenergic stimulation. Here, we sought to determine their functional roles in TNF-α-induced lipolysis. Silencing of ATGL expression in adipocytes almost completely abolished basal and TNF-α-induced glycerol release. In comparison, the glycerol release under the same conditions was only partially decreased upon reduction in expression of either HSL or the ATGL coactivator CGI-58. Interestingly, overexpression of ATGL restored the lipolytic rates in cells with silenced HSL or CGI-58, indicating a predominant role for ATGL. While expression of ATGL, HSL and CGI-58 remains mostly unaffected, TNF-α treatment caused a rapid abrogation of the ATGL inhibitory protein G0S2. TNF-α drastically decreased the level of G0S2 mRNA, and the level of G0S2 protein could be maintained by inhibiting proteasomal protein degradation using MG-132. Furthermore, coexpression of G0S2 was able to significantly decrease TNF-α-stimulated lipolysis mediated by overexpressed ATGL or CGI-58. We propose that the early reduction in G0S2 content is permissive for TNF-α-induced lipolysis.
