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

Adipose tissue demonstrates considerable plasticity and heterogeneity, enabling metabolic, cellular and structural adaptations to environmental signals. This adaptability is key for maintaining metabolic homeostasis. Impaired adipose tissue plasticity can lead to abnormal adipose tissue responses to metabolic cues, which contributes to the development of cardiometabolic diseases. In chronic obesity, white adipose tissue undergoes pathological remodelling marked by adipocyte hypertrophy, chronic inflammation and fibrosis, which are linked to local and systemic insulin resistance. Research data suggest that the capacity for healthy or unhealthy white adipose tissue remodelling might depend on the intrinsic diversity of adipose progenitor cells (APCs), which sense and respond to metabolic cues. This Review highlights studies on APCs as key determinants of adipose tissue plasticity, discussing differences between subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue depots during development, growth and obesity. Modulating APC functions could improve strategies for treating adipose tissue dysfunction and metabolic diseases in obesity.
