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

Peroxisome proliferator receptor gamma (PPARγ), a type II nuclear receptor, fundamental in the regulation of genes, glucose metabolism, and insulin sensitization has been shown to be impacted by per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). To consider the influence of PFASs upon PPARγ, the molecular interactions of 27 PFASs have been investigated. Two binding sites have been identified on the PPARγ homodimer structure: the dimer pocket and the ligand binding pocket, the former has never been studied prior. Molecular dynamics calculations were performed to gain insights about PFASs-PPARγ binding and the role of acidic and basic residues. The electrostatic interactions for acidic and basic residues far from the binding site were probed, together with their effect on PPARγ recognition. Short-range electrostatic and van der Waals interactions with nearby residues and their influence on binding energies were investigated. As the negative effects of perfluorooctane sulfonate acid were previously shown to be alleviated by one of its natural ligands, l-carnitine, here, the utility of l-carnitine as a possible inhibitor for other PFASs has been considered. A comparison of the binding patterns of l-carnitine and PFASs provides insights toward mitigation strategies for PFASs.
