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

Adipokines secreted by visceral, subcutaneous, and perivascular adipocytes are involved in the regulation of vascular tone by acting as circulatory hormones (leptin, adiponectin, omentin, visfatin, angiotensin II, resistin, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, apelin) and/or via local paracrine factors (perivascular adipocyte-derived relaxing and contractile factors). Vascular tone regulation by adipokines is compromised in obesitas and obesity-related disorders. Hypoxia created in growing adipose tissue dysregulates synthesis of vasoactive adipokines in favor of harmful proinflammatory adipokines, while the levels of the cardioprotective adipokines adiponectin and omentin decrease. Considering the potential of the role of adipokines in obesity-related vascular diseases, strategies to counter these diseases by targeting the adipokines are discussed.
