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

backgroundCatch-up growth in adult (CUGA) is characterized by visceral fat accumulation, ectopic lipid deposition and insulin resistance (IR). Here, we investigated the determinants of these pathophysiological consequences of CUGA.

methodsRats were divided into different groups: control rats were offered normal chow ad libitum (AL), while experimental rats were put on 4-week caloric restriction (CR) initially, followed by regaining weight-matched normal chow (RN) in the RN group. General characteristics of lipid metabolism, expression level of genes in visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and glucose infusion rate (GIR

resultsAfter CR, percentage of abdominal fat mass (AFM%) was lower in the RN group than in the AL group but no difference was observed in serum non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA). Expression of fat-specific protein 27 (FSP27) was decreased in the RN group, while the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors γ (PPARγ), the key lipogenic gene, was increased. After refeeding, AFM% increased over time and serum NEFA persistently elevated in the RN group. Ectopic triglyceride contents were increased whereas insulin sensitivity was impaired. The expression of FSP27 did not follow the increase in the expression of PPARγ. Additionally, we observed a sustained increase in the expression of ATGL and CGI-58 in VAT in the RN group compared with the AL group after CR and refeeding, and a persistent shift-to-the-left of adipocyte size distribution accompanied by enhanced lipogenesis during CUGA.

conclusionThe persistent CR-induced imbalance of lipogenesis/fat storage capacity might be responsible for the CUGA-associated metabolic disorders.
