Associations of Betatrophin/ANGPTL8 with Septic Dyslipidemia in Human Peritonitis: An Explorative Analysis.
Article in Biomedicines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sepsis is defined by life-threatening organ dysfunction mediated by the host’s response to infection. This can result in septic dyslipidemia, which is involved in the neutralization of pathogen-related lipids. Knowledge of the regulatory mechanisms of septic dyslipidemia is incomplete. The cytokine betatrophin/Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) plays a role in the regulation of triacylglyceride metabolism, though its function in septic dyslipidemia remains unknown. Sixty-six patients were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. Circulating concentrations and adipose tissue (AT) mRNA expression of betatrophin/ANGPTL8 were studied in patients suffering from peritoneal sepsis. Insulin-resistant individuals and subjects without metabolic derangement/systemic inflammation were enrolled as controls. All underwent open abdominal surgery. Circulating betatrophin/ANGPTL8 was analyzed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and AT mRNA expression levels were assessed by real-time PCR. Standard laboratory analyses including lipid electrophoresis were evaluated. Sepsis patients showed pronounced septic dyslipidemia (p < 0.05 for all major lipid classes). Despite comparable betatrophin/ANGPTL8 mRNA expression in AT (p = 0.24), we found significantly increased circulating betatrophin/ANGPTL8 with septic dyslipidemia (p = 0.009). Expression levels of betatrophin/ANGPTL8 in AT correlated with circulating concentrations in both control groups (r = 0.61; p = 0.008 and r = 0.43; p = 0.034), while this association was undetectable in sepsis. After stratification, betatrophin/ANGPTL8 remained associated with hypertriacylglyceridemia (p < 0.05).
