The common pathophysiologic threads between Asian Indian diabetic's 'Thin Fat Phenotype' and partial lipodystrophy: the peripheral adipose tissue transcriptomic evidences.
Article in Adipocyte, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
T2D is a complex disease with poorly understood mechanisms. In Asian Indians, it is associated with "thin fat" phenotype which resembles with partial lipodystrophy. We hypothesized that disturbed expression of lipodystrophy genes might play a role in T2D pathogenesis. Therefore, we attempted to establish a link between these two diseases by studying the overlap between the network of lipodystrophy genes and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the peripheral subcutaneous adipose tissue of Asian Indians diabetics. We found that 16, out of 138 lipodystrophy genes were differentially regulated in diabetics and around 18% overlap between their network and the DEGs; the expression level of lipodystrophy genes showed an association with disease-related intermediate phenotypic traits among diabetics but not in the control group. We also attempted to individualize the diabetic patients based on ±2 fold altered expression of lipodystrophy genes as compared to their average expression in the control group. In conclusion, significant overlap exists between some of the lipodystrophy genes and their network with DEGs in the peripheral adipose tissue in diabetics. They possibly play a role in the pathogenesis of diabetes and individualization of diabetics is possible based on their altered expression in their peripheral adipose tissue.
