The antiadipogenic effect of the pentacyclic triterpenoid isoarborinol is mediated by LKB1-AMPK activation.
Article in PloS one, 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
Obesity and overweight are two highly prevalent conditions worldwide, which can lead to death or produce chronic and degenerative diseases. The search for alternative therapies to control these morbidities can involve the study of metabolites obtained from plants. Particularly, pentacyclic triterpenes produce an antiadipogenic effect by affecting the expression of master regulators of adipogenesis and their signaling pathways, including LKB1-AMPK pathway. In this work, we evaluated the effect of the pentacyclic triterpene isoarborinol on adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells. This molecule inhibits differentiation and decreases lipid accumulation during cell differentiation in a dose-dependent manner, deregulates the expression of C/EBPβ, C/EBPδ, C/EBPα, PPARγ and SREBP-1C, causes an increase in the phosphorylation of LKB1 and AMPK, as well as a down regulation of the lipogenic factors ACC1, FAS and FABP4. These findings show that the antiadipogenic effect of isoarborinol is associated with the activation of LKB1-AMPK, leading to changes in the expression of master regulators of adipogenesis and lipogenic factors.
