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

backgroundObesity is characterized by visceral adipose tissue (AT) inflammation. Immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs), phagocytic M2-like macrophages, and innate lymphoid cells type 2 (ILC2) control lean AT inflammation to maintain systemic insulin sensitivity, while the loss of these cells in obesity leads to AT inflammation and insulin resistance (IR).

objectiveThe objective of this study was to determine if weight loss following obesity would correct AT inflammation and systemic metabolism.

resultsAfter six months of high fat diet (HFD) in male C57/Bl6 mice, flow analyses of epidydimal AT stromal vascular fraction (SVF) revealed depleted Tregs by 50%, doubling of CD8

conclusionsPersistent AT inflammation contributes to the maintenance of IR despite body weight and fat normalization in previously obese mice. These findings highlight the importance of obesity prevention to avoid the consequences of "obesogenic memory."
