Morphological and molecular characterization of GALNT2-mediated adipogenesis.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
3T3L1 mouse pre-adipocytes develop into adipocytes differently in response to GALNT2 overexpression or to stimulation with rosiglitazone, a reference inducer of adipogenesis. To investigate the biology of alternative pathways of adipogenesis, we studied lipid droplets (LD) morphology, chromatin organization, and gene expression in GALNT2- versus rosiglitazone-induced 3T3L1 adipogenesis. 3T3L1 overexpressing either GALNT2 (GALNT2) or GFP and treated with rosiglitazone (GFPR) were differentiated into adipocytes. LD and nuclei were profiled measuring their morphological features. The expression of adipogenesis-related genes was measured by RT-PCR. As compared to GFPR, GALNT2 showed smaller and more clustered LD, more nuclei with condensed chromatin and several gene expression changes (P < 0.001 for all). As compared to those stimulated by rosiglitazone, GALNT2 overexpressing cells show differences in the most established readouts of adipogenesis. Characterizing alternative pathways of adipogenesis may help tackle those diseases which are secondary to increased dysfunctional mass of adipose tissue.
