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 causes various health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases. Metabolic organs, particularly white adipose tissue (WAT) and liver, are deeply involved in obesity. WAT contains many adipocytes with energy storage capacity and secretes adipokines depending on the obesity state, while liver plays pivotal roles in glucose and lipid metabolism. This review outlines and underscores the relationship between obesity and lysosomal functions, including lysosome biogenesis, maturation and activity of lysosomal proteases in WAT and liver. It has been revealed that obesity-induced abnormalities of lysosomal proteases contribute to inflammation and cellular senescence in adipocytes. Previous reports have demonstrated obesity-induced ectopic lipid accumulation in liver is associated with abnormality of lysosomal proteases as well as other lysosomal enzymes. These studies demonstrate that lysosomal dysfunction in WAT and liver underlies part of the obesity-related pathology, raising the possibility that strategies to modulate lysosomal function may be effective in preventing or treating the metabolic syndrome.
