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
objectiveTo identify the role of Tribbles pseudokinase 3 (TRIB3) during the process of adipogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs), and to provide a new target and a novel idea for the application of hASCs in adipose tissue engineering and soft tissue regeneration.
methodsTRIB3-knockdown hASCs (shTRIB3) and TRIB3-overexpression hASCs (TRIB3-over) were established using lentivirus transfection technique. The transfection effect was estimated by the visible presence of green fluorescence as the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the transfected hASCs. The lentiviral transfection efficiency was examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. After adipogenic induction, Oil Red staining and quantification, as well as qRT-PCR about several specific adipogenic markers were used to evaluate the adipogenic differentiation ability of hASCs.
resultsIn TRIB3-knockdown hASCs, the TRIB3 mRNA expression level decreased by about 84.3% compared with the control group (P<0.01), and the TRIB3 protein level also showed obvious reduction. Oppositely, in TRIB3-overexpression hASCs, the TRIB3 mRNA expression level increased by approximately 160% compared with the control group (P<0.01), and the TRIB3 protein level also showed a significant increase. These results indicated a successful construction of TRIB3-knockdown hASCs and TRIB3-overexpression hASCs. The Oil Red staining results showed that the down-regulation of TRIB3 significantly promoted lipid droplets formation in hASCs, consistent with Oil Red quantification. On the other hand, the up-regulation of TRIB3 suppressed lipid droplets formation in hASCs, consistent with Oil Red quantification. After adipogenic induction, adipogenesis-related genes, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα), were increased significantly in TRIB3-knockdown hASCs compared with the control group (P<0.01). Oppositely, PPARγ, CD36 and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) were significantly decreased in TRIB3-overexpression hASCs compared with the control group (P<0.01).
conclusionTRIB3 inhibited the adipogenic differentiation of hASCs. Knockdown of TRIB3 promoted the ability of adipogenesis of hASCs, while overexpression of TRIB3 inhibited the adipogenic differentiation of hASCs. Considering the important role of PPARγ in the adipogenis process, the molecular mechanism of the regulatory function of TRIB3 may be related with PPARγ signal pathway.
