Single cell RNA-sequencing suggests a novel lipid-associated mast cell population following weight cycling.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
We previously demonstrated that weight cycled mice have increased adipose mast cells compared to obese mice by single cell RNA-sequencing. Here, we aimed to confirm and elucidate these changes. Interestingly, we did not detect an increase in total mast cell numbers in weight cycled mice by Toluidine blue or flow cytometry, however, further subcluster analysis of our dataset showed that our initial mast cell cluster consisted of two unique populations. One population had very high expression of classical mast cell markers and another had elevated lipid handling and antigen presentation genes with a concomitant reduction in classical mast cell genes. This new "lipid-associated" mast cell cluster accounted for most of the mast cells in the weight cycled group. We induced a similar phenotype
