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

The classical Cre-LoxP system is time consuming. Here we detail a protocol that leverages Rosa26-LSL-Cas9;Adiponectin-Cre mice to restrict Cas9 expression in adipocytes. This enables specific deletion of target genes in brown adipocytes within 6 weeks by local injection of AAV-sgRNA into interscapular brown adipose tissue. We also describe an adiponectin-promoter-driven AAV vector to express sgRNA-resistant cDNA-encoded protein for subsequent rescue. This protocol thus provides an efficient means to specifically knockout and overexpress genes in brown adipocytes in vivo. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Xue et al. (2022).
