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

Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is a key marker of lipid-associated macrophages (LAMs), but its role in adipose tissue homeostasis remains unclear due to conflicting results. This study aimed to investigate the role of TREM2 in adipose tissue inflammation and metabolic dysfunction during high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. HFD feeding enhanced proteolytic cleavage of TREM2 in gonadal white adipose tissue (GWAT), driven by upregulation of the metalloproteinase ADAM10 and ADAM17.
