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 identification of human obesity sub-types may improve the clinical management of patients with obesity and uncover previously unrecognized obesity mechanisms. Here, we hypothesized that adipose tissue (AT) mast cells (MC) estimation could be a mark for human obesity sub-phenotyping beyond current clinical-based stratifications, both cross-sectionally and prospectively. We estimated MC accumulation using immunohistochemistry and gene expression in abdominal visceral AT (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) in a human cohort of 65 persons with obesity who underwent elective abdominal (mainly bariatric) surgery, and we validated key results in two clinically similar, independent cohorts (
