Macrophage-Derived microRNA-155 Increases in Obesity and Influences Adipocyte Metabolism by Targeting Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma.
Article in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate cellular sources of microRNAs (miRNA) within adipose tissue and the impact of obesity on miRNA expression, as well as to examine targets of miRNAs.
methodsmiRNA expression by quantitative polymerase chain reaction was examined in adipocytes, adipose tissue macrophages (ATM), and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from and individuals with normal weight and with obesity. Differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were cocultured with macrophages, and 3T3-L1 and differentiated human mesenchymal stem cells were transfected with miR-155, with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) and solute carrier family 2 member 4 (GLUT4) abundance measured via Western blot analysis.
resultsAbundance of miR-155 and miR-210 was increased in ATM of participants with obesity by 6.7-fold and 2.9-fold (P = 0.002 and P = 0.013, respectively). miR-130b expression was increased 1.8-fold in ATM and 4.3-fold in adipocytes from participants with obesity (P = 0.007 and P = 0.02, respectively). PPARG mRNA expression decreased 32% (P = 0.044) in adipocytes from individuals with obesity. In 3T3-L1 cells exposed to macrophages, PPARG expression decreased 99.4% (P = 0.02). PPAR-γ protein content declined 75% (P = 0.001) in 3T3-L1 cells transfected with miR-155. GLUT4 protein levels were reduced by 55% (P = 0.021) in differentiated human mesenchymal stem cells exposed to miR-155.
conclusionsAdipose tissue miRNAs are influenced in a cell type-specific fashion by obesity, with macrophage miR-155 potentially impacting neighboring adipocytes.
