Depot-specific regulation of autotaxin with obesity in human adipose tissue.
Article in Journal of physiology and biochemistry, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers.
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.
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
Autotaxin (ATX) is a lysophospholipase D involved in synthesis of a bioactive mediator: lysophosphatidic. ATX is abundantly produced by adipocytes and exerts a negative action on adipose tissue expansion. In both mice and humans, ATX expression increases with obesity in association with insulin resistance. In the present study, fat depot-specific regulation of ATX was explored in human. ATX mRNA expression was quantified in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue in obese (BMI > 40 kg/m(2); n = 27) and non-obese patients (BMI < 25 kg/m(2); n = 10). Whatever the weight status of the patients is, ATX expression was always higher (1.3- to 6-fold) in subcutaneous than in visceral fat. Nevertheless, visceral fat ATX was significantly higher (42 %) in obese than in non-obese patients, whereas subcutaneous fat ATX remained unchanged. In obese patients, visceral fat ATX expression was positively correlated with diastolic arterial blood pressure (r = 0.67; P = 0.001). This correlation was not observed with subcutaneous fat ATX. Visceral fat ATX was mainly correlated with leptin (r = 0.60; P = 0.001), inducible nitric oxide synthase (r = 0.58; P = 0,007), and apelin receptor (r = 0.50; P = 0.007). These correlations were not observed with subcutaneous fat ATX. These results reveal that obesity-associated upregulation of human adipose tissue ATX is specific to the visceral fat depot.
