Brown adipose tissue, anthropometric traits, and metabolic profiles in women with normal weight obesity.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Emerging evidence indicates that individuals with normal-weight obesity (NWO), characterized by a normal body mass index (BMI) but high body fat (BF) percentage, are at increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is crucial for cardiometabolic health. However, the connection between adipose tissue density and NWO remains elusive. A total of 90 women aged 30-59 with BMIs ranging from 18.5 to 32 were investigated. We measured BAT vascular density as the total hemoglobin concentration using near-infrared time-resolved spectroscopy (NIR-TRS). While the total, visceral, and subcutaneous fat areas were significantly higher in the NWO group than those in the normal-weight group, the BAT vascular density was significantly lower in the NWO group (49.83, 95% CI: 45.98, 53.67) than that in the normal-weight group (64.94, 95% CI: 57.71, 72.17) (p < 0.01). Multivariate regression analysis identified BAT vascular density as a significant predictor of BF percentage (β = -0.308, p < 0.001). These findings suggest that women with NWO have markedly lower BAT vascular densities than those exhibited by women in the normal-weight group, underscoring the remarkable association of BAT with BF accumulation and the development of obesity and cardiometabolic dysregulation.
