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

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a conserved 'stress hormone' in unicellular organisms, plants and animals. In mammals, ABA and its receptors LANCL1 and LANCL2 stimulate insulin-independent cell glucose uptake and oxidative metabolism: overexpression of LANCL1/2 increases, and their silencing conversely reduces, mitochondrial number, respiration and proton gradient dissipation in muscle cells and in brown adipocytes. We hypothesized that the ABA/LANCL hormone/receptors system could be involved in thermogenesis. Heat production by LANCL1/2-overexpressing versus double-silenced cells was compared in rat H9c2 cardiomyocytes with two different methods: differential temperature measurements using sensitive thermistor probes and differential isothermal calorimetry. Overexpressing cells generate an approximately double amount of thermal power compared with double-silenced cells, and addition of ABA further doubles heat production in overexpressing cells. With the temperature probes, we find a timescale of approximately 4 min for thermogenesis to 'turn on' after nutrient addition. We provide direct measurements of increased heat production triggered by the ABA/LANCL hormone receptors system. Combined with previous work on oxphos decoupling, these results support the role of the ABA/LANCL hormone receptors system as a hitherto unknown regulator of cell thermogenesis.
