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

Thermogenic brown adipocytes (BAs) are not only an energy sink but also regulate systemic metabolic health through secreted factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs). Here, we investigate the baseline profiles BA-EVs and how cold-induced thermogenesis alters the proteome of BA-EVs. We first established and validated transgenic mouse models expressing human CD63 (hCD63)-GFP for visualisation and isolation of EVs exclusively from adipocytes and BAs. We then used super-resolution microscopy to compare the subcellular localisation and maturation of EVs in adipocytes grown in culture or directly isolated from mice, revealing distinct features. We then used immunoprecipitation to enrich BA-EVs and employed mass spectrometry to define the EV-proteomes. We discovered that cold stimulation elevated secretion of mitochondrial and lysosomal proteins in BA-EVs. We validated the presence and activity of creatine kinase B (CKB) in BA-EVs. We finally showed that BA-EVs promote thermogenic gene expression in white adipocytes, but cold stimulation surprisingly blunted EV's effect in up-regulating
