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

Stanniocalcin 2 (STC2), a secreted glycoprotein hormone, regulates many biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, tumorigenesis, and atherosclerosis. However, its role in hepatic triglyceride metabolism remains unknown. In the present study, we found that expression levels of STC2 were significantly reduced in the livers of leptin-deficient and high fat diet-induced obese mice. Systemic administration of STC2 recombinant protein or adenovirus-mediated overexpression of STC2 markedly attenuated hepatosteatosis and hypertriglyceridemia in obese mice. At the molecular level, we found that STC2 activated the STAT3 signaling pathway to inhibit lipogenic gene expression. Consistently,
