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

The proinflammatory status of adipose tissue has been linked to the metabolic and cardiovascular consequences of obesity. Human adipose cells express the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR), and its expression is elevated in inflammatory states, such as that associated with obesity. Given the CaSR's association with inflammation in other tissues, we evaluated its role elevating the adipose expression of inflammatory factors. The CaSR activation by the calcimimatic cinacalcet (5μM) in adipose tissue and in vitro cultured LS14 adipose cells elicited an elevation in the expression of the proinflammatory cytokines IL6, IL1β, TNFα, and the chemoattractant CCL2. This was in part reverted by SN50, an inhibitor of the inflammatory mediator nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB). Our observations suggest that CaSR activation elevates cytokine and chemokine production, partially mediated by NFκB. These findings support the relevance of the CaSR in the pathophysiology of obesity-induced adipose tissue dysfunction, with an interesting potential for pharmacological manipulation.
