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

Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) plays important and various roles in the differentiation and lipid metabolism of adipocytes. However, the current knowledge of the respective roles of LKB1 in subcutaneous fat (SCF) and intramuscular fat (IMF) adipocytes remains unclear. This study aimed to discover the different regulatory mechanisms of LKB1 in SCF and IMF adipocytes. We found that LKB1 overexpression inhibited adipogenesis in both SCF and IMF adipocytes, and SCF adipocytes were more sensitive to regulation by LKB1. Transcriptomics results showed that IMF adipocytes had many more differentially expressed genes (DEGs) than SCF adipocytes. Pathway analysis of the shared and distinct DEGs revealed that the main adipogenesis mechanism was similar between SCF and IMF adipocytes upon LKB1 overexpression, while regulatory and metabolic signaling pathways, such as MAPK, PPAR signaling pathways, were differently regulated by LKB1. Several cytokine-related pathways were only enriched in LKB1-overexpressing IMF adipocytes. Our study reveals different regulators and signaling pathways between SCF and IMF adipocytes under LKB1 overexpression, which may be potential targets to differentially control SCF and IMF deposition and improve our understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of IMF deposition.
