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

BECN1, a protein essential for autophagy, is involved in adipocyte differentiation, lipolysis and insulin resistance. The discovery of new mechanisms for modifying BECN1 in adipocytes may provide novel therapeutic targets for obesity. This study aimed to investigate the impact of mutations at the acetylation sites of BECN1 on adipocyte differentiation and lipolysis. We found that Ace-BECN1 levels were increased in 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation and isoproterenol-/TNF-α-stimulated lipolysis and in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues of high-fat diet mice. K414 was identified as an acetylation site of BECN1, which affects the stability of the BECN1 protein. Mutation at K414 of BECN1 affected autophagy, differentiation and lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. These data indicated the potential of BECN1 K414 as a key molecule and a drug target for regulating autophagy and lipid metabolism in adipocytes.
