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

Chronic inflammation in adipose tissue is widely recognized as a pivotal link connecting obesity to a spectrum of related chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disorders. In this pathogenic process, the dysregulated interaction between adipocytes and adipose-resident immune cells plays a critical regulatory role; however, the underlying mechanisms governing this abnormal interaction remain largely unknown. In this study, we showed that upregulated β2-microglobulin expression in hypertrophic adipocytes during obesity not only mediated the activation of adipose-resident CD8
