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

Detailed investigation of the lipidome remodeling upon normal weight conditions, obesity, or weight loss, as well as the influence of physical activity, can help to understand the mechanisms underlying dyslipidemia in metabolic conditions correlated to the emergence and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). C57BL/6 male mice were fed a normal diet (ND) or a high-fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks. Subgroups within the high-fat diet (HFD) group underwent different interventions: some engaged in exercise (HFDex), others were subjected to weight loss (WL) by changing from the HFD to ND, and some underwent a combination of weight loss and exercise (WLex) during the final 8 weeks of the 20-week feeding period. To support our understanding, not only tissue-specific lipid remodeling mechanisms but also the cross-talk between different tissues and their impact on the systemic regulation of lipid metabolism are essential. Exercise and weight loss-induced specific adaptations in the liver and visceral adipose tissue lipidomes of mice were explored by the UPLC-TOF-MS/MS untargeted lipidomics methodology. Lipidomic signatures of ND and HFD-fed mice undergoing weight loss were compared with animals with and without physical exercise. Several lipid classes were identified as contributing factors in the discrimination of the groups by multivariate analysis models, such as glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and fatty acids, with respect to liver samples, whereas triglycerides were the only lipid class identified in visceral adipose tissue. Lipids found to be dysregulated in HFD animals are related to well-established pathways involved in the biosynthesis of PC, PE, and TG metabolism. These show a reversing trend back to basic levels of ND when animals change to a normal diet after 12 weeks, whereas the impact of exercise, though in some cases it slightly enhances the reversing trend, is not clear.
