Tributyltin Enhances Macrophage Inflammation and Lipolysis, Contributing to Adipose Tissue Dysfunction.

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
Tributyltin (TBT) is a synthetic chemical widely used in industrial and commercial applications. TBT exposure has been proven to elicit obesogenic effects. Gestational exposure led to increased white adipose tissue depot size in exposed (F1, F2) animals and in unexposed generations (F3, F4), an example of transgenerational inheritance. TBT exerts these effects in part by increasing the number and size of white adipocytes, altering the fate of multipotent mesenchymal stromal stem cells to favor the adipocyte lineage, altering adipokine secretion, and modulating chromatin structure. Adipose tissue resident macrophages are critical regulators in adipose tissue; however, the effects of TBT on adipose tissue macrophages remained unclear. Here we investigated the effects of TBT on macrophages and consequent impacts on adipocyte function. TBT significantly enhanced palmitate-induced inflammatory gene expression in mouse bone marrow derived macrophages and this effect was attenuated by the antagonizing action of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma. TBT-treated macrophages decreased lipid accumulation in white adipocytes differentiated from mesenchymal stromal stem cells accompanied by increased expression of lipolysis genes. Lastly, ancestral TBT exposure increased
