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
Zinc finger protein 746 (ZNF746), also known as PARKIN-interacting substrate (PARIS), is a KRAB-ZFP family transcriptional repressor implicated in Parkinson's disease and adipogenesis. Its unclear role in systemic metabolism led us to investigate PARIS-mediated metabolic function by generating mice with a knockout of Znf746 exon 7 (P7KO), containing the DNA-binding domain. Under a high-fat diet, P7KO mice exhibited larger gains in body and adipose tissue weight alongside improved insulin sensitivity and reduced adipocyte size compared with wild-type mice, suggesting hyperplastic expansion of white adipose tissue. P7KO mice also showed elevated anti-inflammatory markers in adipose tissues, in contrast to accumulation of lipids and upregulation of lipogenic genes, without changes in glucose transporter or lipid uptake genes, in the liver. These findings indicate a dual role for PARIS: suppressing adipose hyperplasia and restricting hepatic lipogenesis. Identification of the evolutionary conservation of PARIS among mammals, particularly the shared DNA-binding domain between mice and humans, support its translational relevance. Collectively, our results identify PARIS as a previously unrecognized regulator of metabolic homeostasis that coordinates lipid storage and utilization in a tissue-specific manner. Targeting PARIS may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for obesity-related metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
