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

backgroundIt has been suggested that action of complement cascade [CC]-derived anaphylatoxins/molecules may represent a missing link between obesity and metabolic disorders. However, to date, the direct biochemical/immunomodulatory composition of the human AT environment remains poorly understood. In this study, we examined plasma and AT (subcutaneous and visceral/omental) levels of selected CC-derived anaphylatoxins/molecules, and adipsin as well as verified their associations with immune and stem cells chemoattractant - stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1).

methodsA total of 70 (35 subcutaneous and 35 omental) AT samples were obtained from patients undergoing elective surgery. Plasma and AT-derived interstitial fluid levels of C3a, C5a, C5b-9/membrane attack complex (MAC), complement factor D (adipsin) were measured using ELISA.

resultsAT levels of all examined substances were significantly lower than the corresponding levels in the plasma (in all cases P < 0.0000001). Moreover, in subcutaneous AT, robust C3a and adipsin concentrations were observed, whereas high levels of C5b-9/MAC were detected in the visceral depots. In addition, we established the correlations between analyzed molecular substances and body composition, BMI and/or the adiposity index of the examined patients.

conclusionsOur study demonstrated for the first time that significantly reduced levels of complement-derived molecules were present in human AT than in the peripheral blood, and that these factors are associated with the metabolic status of examined individuals. Moreover, in human AT, various associations between complement-derived molecules and SDF-1 levels exist.
