Endogenous secretory RAGE increases with improvements in body composition and is associated with markers of adipocyte health.
Trial report in Nutrition, metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases : NMCD, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00960505 (Alternate Day Fasting for Weight Loss, Weight Maintenance and Cardio-protection), which is not on this map. Cited by 26 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThe receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is implicated in obesogenesis. Conversely, soluble RAGE (sRAGE) competitively inhibits RAGE. Our aim was to determine the effects of weight-loss via alternate day fasting (ADF) on sRAGE isoforms and evaluate potential relationships with body composition. METHODS AND
results42 obese participants were randomized to control (CON) or ADF. For 24 weeks, the ADF group consumed 25% or 125% of their caloric requirements on alternating days while the CON group did not change their diet. Body fat was measured via DXA, visceral fat (VAT) via MRI and subcutaneous fat (SAT) was derived by subtracting VAT from total fat. sRAGE isoforms were measured via ELISAs. After 24 weeks, ADF -6.8 (-9.5, -3.5)kg (Median, IQR) lost more weight than CON -0.3 (-1.9, 1.0)kg (p < 0.05). The change in endogenous secretory RAGE (esRAGE) was different between ADF 15 (-30, 78)pg/mL and CON -21 (-72, 16)pg/mL after 24 weeks (p < 0.05). To examine the effect of changes in body composition, the cohort was stratified by median weight-, fat-, SAT-, and VAT-loss. The changes in all sRAGE isoforms were different between those above and below median weight-loss (p < 0.05) with sRAGE isoforms tending to decrease in individuals below the median. Changes in total sRAGE and esRAGE were different between individuals above compared to below median fat- and SAT-loss (p < 0.05). Those above median fat-loss increased esRAGE by 29 (-5, 66)pg/mL (p < 0.05).
conclusionImprovements in body composition are related to increased sRAGE isoforms, implicating sRAGE as a potential target for the treatment of obesity. CLINICAL
