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

BACKGROUND/

aimsImpaired angiogenesis is linked to adipose tissue (AT) dysfunction, inflammation, and insulin resistance in human obesity. Chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor. (CXCR3) ligands are important regulators of angiogenesis in different disease contexts such as cancer; however, their role in human morbid obesity is unknown. We investigated the role of the CXCR3 axis in AT angiogenesis in morbidly obese patients. SUBJECTS/

methodsThe study group comprised 50 morbidly obese patients (mean age 44 ± 1 years, body mass index 44 ± 1 kg/m

resultsPlasma levels of CXCL10 and CXCL11 were significantly higher in morbidly obese patients than in controls (p < 0.01). In ex vivo assays, angiogenic growth was markedly lower in visceral AT than in subcutaneous AT (p < 0.05), which was related to significant tissue upregulation of CXCL10, CXCL11 and CXCR3 (p < 0.05). CXCL10 or CXCL11 inhibited AT angiogenesis (p < 0.05), and blockade of CXCR3 function significantly increased capillary sprouting in visceral fat deposits (p < 0.05). Western blot analysis showed that the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway was implicated in the angiostatic effects of CXCR3 in AT.

conclusionsCXCL10 and CXCL11 may play. deleterious role in obesity as potential inhibitors of AT angiogenesis. Accordingly, pharmacological blockade of CXCR3 could represent. therapy to prevent AT dysfunction in obesity.
