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

Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 1 (NRF1), a ubiquitously expressed CNC-bZIP transcription factor, plays a critical role in white adipocyte (WAC) biology, whereas the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The mouse Nrf1 gene is transcribed in a number of alternatively spliced forms, resulting in two long protein isoforms (L-NRF1) containing 741 and 742 amino acids (aa) and multiple short isoforms (S-NRF1). Our previous study found that adipocyte-specific knockout of Nrf1 [Nrf1(f)-KO] in mice disturbs the expression of lipolytic genes in adipocytes, leading to adipocyte hypertrophy followed by inflammation, pyroptosis and insulin resistance. In the present study, we found that the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells isolated from white adipose tissues (WAT) of Nrf1(f)-KO mice display augmented adipogenesis showing elevated mRNA and protein expression of adipogenic markers and lipid accumulation. In 3T3-L1 cells, stable knockdown (KD) of all or long isoforms of Nrf1 (termed as A-Nrf1-KD and L-Nrf1-KD, respectively) using lentiviral shRNAs resulted in enhanced and accelerated adipogenic differentiation. Conversely, overexpression of L-NRF1-741, but not any of the S-NRF1, substantially attenuated adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells. These findings indicate that L-NRF1 might serve as a critical negative regulator of adipogenesis. Mechanistic investigation revealed that L-NRF1 may negatively regulates the transcription of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), in particular the master regulator of adipogenesis PPARγ2. Taken all together, the findings in the present study provide further evidence for a novel role of NRF1 beyond its participation in cellular antioxidant response and suggest that L-NRF1 is a negative regulator of PPARγ2 expression and thereby can suppress adipogenesis.
