Preliminary evaluation of β3-adrenoceptor agonist-induced 18F-FDG metabolic activity of brown adipose tissue in obese Zucker rat.
Article in Nuclear medicine and biology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundWe have investigated β3-adrenoceptor agonist mediated brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation using (18)F-FDG PET/CT in Zucker lean (ZL) and obese (ZF) rats.
methods(18)F-FDG was injected into ZL and ZF rats pretreated with saline or agonist CL316,243 for scans. (18)F-FDG metabolic activity was computed as standard uptake values.
resultsCL316,243 in ZL activated BAT up to 4-fold compared to saline, while ZF BAT was only up by 2 fold. The decreased activation was consistent with lower β3-adrenoceptor levels in ZF rats.
conclusionsThe genetically modified ZL and ZF rats may provide a useful rat model to evaluate the significance of β3-adrenoceptor agonist-induced BAT activation in obesity.
