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

Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) acts as an essential modulator of adipogenesis; nevertheless, the exact molecular pathways governing its role remain uncharacterized. This investigation characterized the expression profile of KLF2 in human adipose tissue and elucidated the mechanisms by which KLF2 modulates adipogenesis in avian models. The KLF2 mRNA expression in human adipose tissues was substantial and exhibited significant heterogeneity influenced by gender and anatomical location, suggesting that KLF2 regulated adipose tissue functionality. In chicken preadipocytes ICP1, the KLF2 protein increased at the first 24 h of oleate-induced adipogenic differentiation and subsequently decreased over time. KLF2 facilitated the cellular proliferation of ICP1 cells (P < 0.05). Moreover, KLF2 overexpression inhibited differentiation of chicken preadipocytes ICP1 (P < 0.05). KLF2 also increased the density of mitochondria and mitochondrial cristae in ICP1 cells. RNA seq and luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that KLF2 suppressed the expression of genes in PPAR signaling pathway in ICP1 cells. Additionally, KLF2 interacted with the promoter region of chicken GATA2 and upregulated GATA2 transcription in ICP1 cells. In summary, KLF2 potentially influences the PPAR signaling cascade, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and GATA2 gene expression to enhance the proliferation of avian preadipocytes while inhibiting their differentiation.
