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

A critical unmet need for the study of obesity-linked cancer is the lack of preclinical models that spontaneously develop obesity and cancer sequentially. Prohibitin (PHB) is a pleiotropic protein that has a role in adipose and immune functions. We capitalized on this attribute of PHB to develop a mouse model for obesity-linked tumor. We achieved this by expressing Y114F-PHB (m-PHB) from the aP2 gene promoter for simultaneous manipulation of adipogenic and immune signaling functions. The m-PHB mice develop obesity in a sex-neutral manner, but only male mice develop impaired glucose homeostasis and hyperinsulinemia similar to transgenic mice expressing PHB. Interestingly, only male m-PHB mice develop histiocytosis with lymphadenopathy, suggesting that metabolic dysregulation or m-PHB alone is not sufficient for the tumor development and that both are required for tumorigenesis. Moreover, ovariectomy in female m-PHB mice resulted in impaired glucose homeostasis, hyperinsulinemia and consequently tumor development similar to male m-PHB mice. These changes were not observed in sham-operated control m-Mito-Ob mice, further confirming the role of obesity-related metabolic dysregulation in tumor development in m-PHB mice. Our data provide a proof-of-concept that obesity-associated hyperinsulinemia promotes tumor development by facilitating dormant mutant to manifest and reveals a sex-dimorphic role of PHB in adipose-immune interaction or immunometabolism. Targeting PHB may provide a unique opportunity for the modulation of immunometabolism in obesity, cancer and in immune diseases.
