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

purpose of the reviewThis review summarizes obesity-induced adaptations in subcutaneous and visceral white adipose tissue (WAT) depots and discusses how incretin-based pharmacotherapies and bariatric surgery may influence WAT remodeling beyond weight loss, drawing on evidence from animal models and human studies. RECENT

findingsIn obesity, adipose tissue undergoes pathological remodeling characterized by structural and cellular changes, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, altered endocrine signaling, and impaired mitochondrial function that contribute to metabolic comorbidities. Weight-loss interventions, including incretin-based therapies and bariatric surgery, are associated with improvements in adiposity and metabolic outcomes, and multiple studies suggest accompanying changes in inflammatory, mitochondrial/thermogenic, and endocrine pathways within WAT; however, mechanistic evidence in humans remains heterogeneous and is often limited by tissue accessibility and study design. This review highlights candidate cellular and molecular mechanisms through which incretin-based pharmacotherapies and bariatric surgery may modulate WAT plasticity, emphasizing convergent and distinct effects across depots and the need for more longitudinal, tissue-level human studies to define weight-dependent remodeling versus changes not fully explained by weight loss.
