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

Obesity is increasing at an alarming rate, both in adults and adolescents, across the globe due to increased consumption of caloric rich diet. Obesity and its associated complications appear to be major contributing factors not only to diabetes/heart disease but also to cancer, and neurological diseases causing a huge burden on the health care system. To date, there are no effective treatments to reduce weight gain, other than caloric restriction and exercise which are often difficult to enforce. There are very few drugs available for treating obesity and those that are available only reduce obesity by ∼ 10%. Identifying mechanisms to increase energy expenditure, on top of the increase elicited by exercise, would be more beneficial to control weight gain. The purpose of this review is to highlight the role of sarcolipin (SLN), a regulator of SERCA pump, in muscle thermogenesis and metabolism. We will further discuss if enhancing SLN activity could be an effective mechanism to increase energy expenditure and control weight gain. We will also discuss the merits of adaptive thermogenesis in muscle and brown fat as potential mechanisms to increase energy expenditure during caloric overload. That said, there is still a great need for further research into the mechanism of diet induced thermogenesis and its relevance to overall metabolism and obesity.
