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

article highlightsGenetic screens were performed across PPARG to study how disruptive mutations across the full coding sequence affect function. An alternative translational start site in PPARG generates a truncated isoform, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) M135, which lacks the N-terminal activation function 1 (AF-1) domain and shows increased agonist-induced transactivation of target genes. In human carriers of rare PPARG variants, AF-1 domain-disrupting genetic variants increase agonist-induced PPARγ activity and decrease metabolic syndrome severity. Targeting the AF-1 domain is a potential therapeutic strategy for insulin sensitization.
