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

(1) Background: studies on the long-term dynamic changes in fat depot metabolism in response to a high-fat diet (HFD) on hepatic lipid deposition and insulin resistance are sparse. This study investigated the dynamic changes produced by HFD and the production of dysfunctional fat depots on insulin resistance and liver lipid metabolism. (2) Methods: mice fed a chow or HFD (45% kcal fat) diet had three fat depots, liver, and blood collected at 6, 10, 20, and 30 weeks. Anthropometric changes and gene markers for adipogenesis, thermogenesis, ECM remodeling, inflammation, and tissue insulin resistance were measured. (3) Results: early responses to the HFD were increased body weight, minor deposition of lipid in liver, increased adipocyte size, and adipogenesis. Later changes were dysfunctional adipose depots, increased liver fat, insulin resistance (shown by changes in ITT) accompanied by increased inflammatory markers, increased fibrosis (fibrosis > 2-fold,
