Strain and Depot-specific Differences in Adipose Tissues of Obese BFMI Mice.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimObesity is associated with the structural and functional disorders related to the molecules of the tissues, cells, and membranes. This study aimed to examine the alterations in the secretion of inflammatory cytokines and metabolic factors and structural changes in inguinal (IF) and gonadal (GF) adipose tissues at the molecular level. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe IF and GF tissues of Berlin Fat Mouse Inbred (BFMI) lines namely BFMI852, BFMI856, BFMI860, BFMI861 obese and DBAJ control mouse lines were used for mRNA expression and Attenuated Total Reflection - Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) studies. The mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines including leptin, interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (Tnf-α), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (Igf-1), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 (Pparγ-2), were investigated using quantitative reverse transcriptase real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Infrared spectroscopy does not provide information about specific proteins, instead, it gives information about overall (total) proteins, which is called global information. Therefore, in the current study, adequate information about secondary structures of adipose tissues proteins was obtained using artificial neural network (ANN) and secondary derivative-vector normalization methods based on the spectral profiles.
resultsAccording to the mRNA expression studies, high leptin resistance was found in all BFMI lines. Differences were observed in the levels of measured factors except for Igf-1 among BFMI lines. Protein secondary structure studies showed an increase in random coil contents, especially for BFMI860, which indicates denaturation of the proteins.
conclusionAmong the spontaneous obese BFMI mouse lines, the BFMI860 line is the most suitable for obesity studies. Obesity-induced effect on the adipose tissues varies considerably with location, type of adipose tissue, and animal line.
