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

Postprandial IL-1β surges are predominant in the white adipose tissue (WAT), but its consequences are unknown. Here, we investigate the role of IL-1β in WAT energy storage and show that adipocyte-specific deletion of IL-1 receptor 1 (IL1R1) has no metabolic consequences, whereas ubiquitous lack of IL1R1 reduces body weight, WAT mass, and adipocyte formation in mice. Among all major WAT-resident cell types, progenitors express the highest IL1R1 levels. In vitro, IL-1β potently promotes adipogenesis in murine and human adipose-derived stem cells. This effect is exclusive to early-differentiation-stage cells, in which the adipogenic transcription factors C/EBPδ and C/EBPβ are rapidly upregulated by IL-1β and enriched near important adipogenic genes. The pro-adipogenic, but not pro-inflammatory effect of IL-1β is potentiated by acute treatment and blocked by chronic exposure. Thus, we propose that transient postprandial IL-1β surges regulate WAT remodeling by promoting adipogenesis, whereas chronically elevated IL-1β levels in obesity blunts this physiological function.
