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

purposeKey research findings suggest that attenuating metaflammation in adipose tissue might be a strategic step to prevent the metabolic syndrome and its associated disease outcomes. The anti-inflammatory effects of 1α,25(OH)

methodsPreadipocyte-specific effects of ZK159222 and ZK191784 on macrophage-induced preadipocytes were tested by pre-incubating and incubating preadipocytes with the analogs and MacCM. Separately, macrophage-specific effects of both analogs on macrophage-induced preadipocytes were tested by incubating preadipocytes with analog-MacCM or MacCM. The effects of 1α,25(OH)

resultsZK159222 and ZK191784 act on preadipocytes and macrophages to decrease the secretion and gene expression of the major pro-inflammatory cytokines in macrophage-induced preadipocytes. The anti-inflammatory effects were at least as potent as 1α,25(OH)

conclusionZK159222 and ZK191784 act on macrophages and preadipocytes to attenuate metaflammatory responses in macrophage-induced preadipocytes, by decreasing phosphorylation of relA/NF-κB, p44/42 and p38 MAPK.
