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

Sustained endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress disrupts normal cellular homeostasis and leads to the development of many types of human diseases, including metabolic disorders. TAK1 (also known as MAP3K7) is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K) family and is activated by a diverse set of inflammatory stimuli. Here, we demonstrate that TAK1 regulates ER stress and metabolic signaling through modulation of lipid biogenesis. We found that deletion of Tak1 increased ER volume and facilitated ER-stress tolerance in cultured cells, which was mediated by upregulation of sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein (SREBP)-dependent lipogenesis. In the in vivo setting, central nervous system (CNS)-specific Tak1 deletion upregulated SREBP-target lipogenic genes and blocked ER stress in the hypothalamus. Furthermore, CNS-specific Tak1 deletion prevented ER-stress-induced hypothalamic leptin resistance and hyperphagic obesity under a high-fat diet (HFD). Thus, TAK1 is a crucial regulator of ER stress in vivo, which could be a target for alleviation of ER stress and its associated disease conditions.
