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

The tissue distribution pattern of lipid is highly diverse among different fish species. Tiger puffer has a special lipid storage pattern, storing lipid predominantly in liver. In order to better understand the lipid physiology in fish storing lipid in liver, the present study preliminarily investigated the tissue distribution of transcription for 29 lipid metabolism-related genes in tiger puffer, which are involved in lipogenesis, fatty acid oxidation, biosynthesis and hydrolysis of glycerides, lipid transport, and relevant transcription regulation. Samples of eight tissues, brain, eye, heart, spleen, liver, intestine, skin, and muscle, from fifteen juvenile tiger puffer were used in the qRT-PCR analysis. The intestine and brain had high transcription of lipogenic genes, whereas the liver and muscle had low expression levels. The intestine also had the highest transcription level of most apolipoproteins and lipid metabolism-related transcription factors. The transcription of fatty acid β-oxidation-related genes was low in the muscle. The peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation may dominate over mitochondrial β-oxidation in the liver and intestine of tiger puffer, and the MAG pathway probably predominates over the G3P pathway in re-acylation of absorbed lipids in the intestine. The intracellular glyceridases were highly transcribed in the brain, eye, and heart. In conclusion, in tiger puffer, the intestine could be a center of lipid metabolism whereas the liver is more likely a pure storage organ for lipid. The lipid metabolism in the muscle could also be inactive, possibly due to the very low level of intramuscular lipid.
