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

Adipose tissue has emerged as a dynamic endocrine organ that coordinates systemic energy balance and cardiometabolic health. This Review highlights the dual humoral and neuronal pathways through which adipose tissue regulates systemic metabolism. Humoral signals include peptide hormones, lipid mediators, metabolites, chemokines and exosomal microRNAs secreted by adipose depots. Neuronal circuits control adipose function rapidly and precisely: sympathetic efferents trigger lipolysis in white adipose tissue and thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, whereas sensory afferents detect chemical, thermal and mechanical signals to adjust sympathetic activity. Nutritional and environmental stimuli (for example, diet, cold exposure and exercise), along with pathological states (for example, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, lipodystrophy and ageing-associated disorders), dynamically modulate these endocrine and neural outputs. Methodological innovations, such as omics based on mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, secretome labelling, adipose tissue organoid models and click chemistry, enable high-resolution characterization of adipose-derived signals and their targets. Finally, we discuss translational opportunities, including synthetic analogues of lipophilic hormones, and future therapeutic strategies that harness adipose communication networks.
