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

Neuregulin 4 (Nrg4), a novel adipokine produced primarily by brown adipose tissue (BAT), has been functionally characterized to exert beneficial effects on modulating energy homeostasis and glucolipid metabolism, and is closely associated with the development and progression of obesity and obesity-associated metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases. Recently, there has been a growing focus on the relationship between circulating Nrg4 levels and T2DM-related vascular complications. In this review, we discussed the known and potential roles of Nrg4 in various physiological and pathological processes, and its association with vascular complications in T2DM, in the aim of finding a potential biomarker recommended for the clinical diagnosis, prognosis and follow-up of T2DM patients at high risk of developing vascular complications as well as providing new therapeutic approaches.
