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

Obesity results from an excessive expansion of white adipose tissue (WAT), which is still poorly understood from an etiologic-mechanistic perspective. Here, we report that Nck1, a Src homology domain-containing adaptor, is upregulated during WAT expansion and in vitro adipogenesis. In agreement, Nck1 mRNA correlates positively with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ and adiponectin mRNAs in the WAT of obese humans, whereas Nck1-deficient mice display smaller WAT depots with reduced number of adipocyte precursors and accumulation of extracellular matrix. Furthermore, silencing Nck1 in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes increases the proliferation and expression of genes encoding collagen, whereas it decreases the expression of adipogenic markers and impairs adipogenesis. Silencing Nck1 in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes also promotes the expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-A and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) α activation and signaling. Preventing PDGFRα activation using imatinib, or through PDGF-A or PDGFRα deficiency, inhibits collagen expression in Nck1-deficient preadipocytes. Finally, imatinib rescues differentiation of Nck1-deficient preadipocytes. Altogether, our findings reveal that Nck1 modulates WAT development through PDGFRα-dependent remodeling of preadipocytes.
