Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) orchestrates adipose tissue inflammation and metabolic disorders through NLRP3 inflammasome.
Article in Molecular biomedicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Obesity is a metabolic disorder characterized by the hypertrophy expansion of adipose tissue, resulting in dysregulated energy metabolism, and accompanied by chronic low-grade inflammation. Adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs), a principal component of inflammation, respond to microenvironment signals and modulate adipose tissue remodeling and metabolic processes situation-specific. However, the mechanisms governing how the organism maintains equilibrium between its chronic inflammation and metabolism still need to be understood. Here, we describe a novel role of apolipoprotein E (ApoE), which associated with lipid particles, in maintaining fat deposition and system metabolic inflammation. Using human samples and mouse models, we show that ApoE is robustly downregulated in obese individuals, db/db mice, and mice of high-fat diet (HFD) feeding and increased in obese subjects with diabetes. Furthermore, we found that ApoE deficiency mice globally prevented obesity by restraining adipose tissue expansion and improved systemic glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. However, macrophage contributed to metabolic inflammation due to increased IL-1β production in adipose tissue from ApoE
