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

Introduction Obesity, defined as a condition of excessive fat accumulation in adipose tissue, is a global epidemic implicated in a myriad of processes deleterious to human health. It has become one of the leading impediments to public health globally. The study of obesity necessitates adipocyte models, which commonly employ a medium enriched with adipogenic hormones and fetal bovine serum (FBS) to culture terminal adipocytes. In the current study, we developed a novel protocol for serum-free differentiation of 3T3-L1 and ST2 pre-adipocytes using media enriched with free fatty acids (FFA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Differentiation was characterized by measuring FFA uptake and changes in expression of adipogenic genes. The novel protocol was also compared against the existing serum-inclusive method. Methods The National Institutes of Health (NIH)-3T3-L1 and ST2 pre-adipocyte cells were maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) containing 10% calf serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin and Roswell Park Memorial Institute Medium (RPMI) with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin mixture, respectively, at 37℃, 5% CO
