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
Neuropeptide B (NPB) is reported to regulate energy homeostasis and metabolism via the NPBWR1 and NPBWR2 receptors in various tissues. However, the molecular mechanisms triggered from their interaction are not well investigated in brown adipose tissue. In this study, we specifically analyzed the role of NPB in controlling brown adipogenesis in rat brown preadipocytes. We first detected the expression of NPBWR1 and NPB on mRNA and protein level in brown preadipocytes and observed that NPB increased viability and proliferation of preadipocytes. Moreover, NPB stimulated expression of adipogenic genes (Prdm16, Ucp1) and suppressed the expression of antiadipogenic preadipocyte factor 1 (Pref1) during the differentiation process. Altogether, this led to an increase in intracellular lipid accumulation during preadipocyte differentiation, coupled with an increase in adrenaline-induced oxygen consumption mediated by NPB. Furthermore, Ucp1 expression stimulated by NPB was attenuated by blockade of p38 kinase. In summary, we conclude that NPB promotes proliferation and differentiation of rat brown preadipocytes via p38-dependent mechanism and plays an important role in controlling brown adipose tissue formation.
