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

aims/hypothesisLipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding protein (LBP) is a novel 65 kDa adipokine, linked to adipose tissue (AT) inflammation, obesity and insulin resistance, that inhibits adipocyte differentiation. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms behind these detrimental effects on adipogenesis through whole-genome transcriptomics and in vitro experiments.

methodsPermanent and transient knockdown (KD) and co-culture experiments were performed in 3T3-L1 and 3T3-F442A cell lines during adipocyte differentiation. Microarray gene expression was performed using Genechip Affymetrix technology and validated by real-time PCR.

resultsLBP KD of 3T3-L1 cells led to a potentiated adipocyte differentiation with a dose-response relationship; genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, fatty acid metabolism and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) action were dramatically upregulated in parallel to increased insulin signalling. Cells with LBP KD became refractory to proinflammatory cytokines and other inflammatory stimuli (LPS and palmitate). This phenotype, mediated through disrupted nuclear factor κB (NFκB) signalling, was reversed by a soluble factor present in a co-culture with native cells and by exogenous LBP. Double-silencing of LBP and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) again rendered these cells insensitive to co-culture, LBP and inflammatory factors. CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationIn summary, LBP is a proinflammatory soluble adipokine that acts as a brake for adipogenesis, strengthening the negative effects of palmitate and LPS on adipocyte differentiation.
