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

Adiponectin has been receiving a great deal of attention due to its potential therapeutic use for metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. Adiponectin expression levels and multimerization are down-regulated in obesity and up-regulated by insulin sensitizers such as thiazolidinediones (TZDs), metformin, sulfonylurea and resveratrol (RSV). The precise mechanisms underlying adiponectin up- and down-regulation remain largely unknown, but recent studies indicate that the cellular and plasma levels of adiponectin could be regulated at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. At the post-translational level, TZDs and resveratrol promote adiponectin levels and multimerization via up-regulation of disulfide-bond-A oxidoreductase-like protein (DsbA-L). Adiponectin levels are also stimulated by FOXO1 and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and are suppressed by PKA or silencing mediator of retinoid and thyroid hormone receptors (SMRT). Since multimerization is important not only for adiponectin function but also for stability, increasing adiponectin multimerization has become a promising drug target for the treatment of metabolic diseases and other related disorders.
