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

objectiveTo investigate the effects of PPARγ overexpression on steatosis in mouse primary hepatocytes.

methodsPrimary hepatocytes isolated from C57BL/6J mice were infected with either Ad/LacZ or Ad/PPARγ for 48 h. Steatosis of the primary hepatocytes was checked by Oil Red O staining. The mRNA and protein expression of adipocyte-specific genes PPARγ, aP2 and CideA were analyzed by using RT Real-time PCR and Western Blot.

resultsPrimary hepatocytes were small and even. Hepatocyte nuclei were round with dispersed chromatin and prominent nucleoli. Accumulated lipid droplets were observed in Ad/PPARγ-infected hepatocytes, but in Ad/LacZ-infected hepatocytes. Moreover, compared with Ad/LacZ-infected hepatocytes, the mRNA expression of PPARγ, aP2, FGF21 and CideA in Ad/PPARγ-infected hepatocytes were significantly induced, the protein expression of PPARγ and its target aP2 strongly increased.

conclusionover expression of PPARγ induces adipogenic steatosis in mouse primary hepatocytes.
