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 is a complex tissue comprised of adipocytes, immune cells, endothelial and progenitor stem cells. In humans, there are at least nine defined adipose depots, each containing variable numbers of genetically identified adipocyte clusters suggesting remarkable heterogeneity and potential functionality in each depot with respect to lipid metabolism. Although subcutaneous and visceral depots are commonly analyzed for biochemical and molecular functions, the mesenteric depot has been overlooked yet strongly implicated in lipid mediated immune surveillance. Since fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are primary cellular conduits to lipid trafficking, we evaluated the expression patterns for four major fatty acid binding proteins (FABP1, FABP3, FABP4 and FABP5) using a combination of gene expression, immunoblotting, and immunofluorescence in mesenteric fat from both young and old, male and female C57Bl/6J mice. All four FABPs were expressed at the mRNA and protein level in murine mesenteric adipose tissue. While there was no statistical change in expression of mesenteric FABP isoforms with sex or age, the expression of mesenteric FABP1 was increased, and FABP4 decreased, in both males and females as compared to perigonadal and inguinal depots. Surprisingly, immunofluorescence staining revealed that compared to subcutaneous or perigonadal depots, mesenteric fat expresses FABP3, but little FABP5, in adipocytes. These results highlight the diversity in adipose tissue and the importance of evaluating the mesenteric depot in the context of lipid transport and metabolism.
