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

Adipocyte differentiation involves a metabolic transition from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to aerobic glycolysis, allowing preadipocytes to meet the biosynthetic and energetic demands of maturation. Here, we show that nuclear myosin 1 (NM1), a chromatin-associated actomyosin motor, known to control transcription and chromatin accessibility, is required for metabolic homeostasis during adipocyte differentiation. Integrated ATAC-seq and RNA-seq profiling of NM1-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) revealed coordinated downregulation of key adipogenic and lipid-droplet machinery genes like Cebpa, Plin2, Abhd5, Agpat2, Pink1, and altered enhancer accessibility near adipogenesis-linked transcription factors (TFs) such as Klf6, Foxo3, Smad5, and Gata4. NM1 knockout (KO) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibited impaired differentiation potential despite enlarged adipocyte morphology. In vivo, NM1-deficient mice developed progressive visceral obesity, accompanied by transcriptional reprogramming in epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT), including repression of mitochondrial and adipogenic pathways and activation of inflammatory networks driven by IFNG, IL33, and TNF. Cross-species network analysis highlighted conserved regulatory architecture centered on MYO1C, implicating NM1/MYO1C as key chromatin-level regulators of adipose remodeling.
