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

In mammals, the activation of thermogenic adipocytes, such as beige and brown adipocytes, can significantly increase overall energy expenditure, offering a promising strategy to combat metabolic diseases. Despite its considerable potential, the regulatory mechanisms governing this activation remain largely elusive. This study bridges this gap by elucidating that tripartite motif 56 (TRIM56), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, is upregulated in response to cold stimuli, thereby promoting the recruitment of beige adipocytes. Notably, the overexpression of TRIM56 in adipocytes is shown to help mice maintain a core temperature under cold conditions, as well as confer protection against diet-induced obesity. Mechanistically, TRIM56 facilitates the degradation of the transducin-like enhancer protein 3 (TLE3) protein by promoting its K48-linked ubiquitination, which subsequently triggers the activation of thermogenic genes in subcutaneousl white adipose tissue and improved the metabolic profiles. These findings unveil a novel function for TRIM56 in adipocyte browning, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of metabolic disorders.
