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

Enhancing energy utilization by increasing the number or activity of beige adipocytes has the potential to be of therapeutic benefit for a broad range of metabolic disorders. However, knowledge gaps in our understanding of the mouse versus human developmental origins of beige fat have inhibited the generation of robust preclinical models, leaving a barrier to the success of therapies. Here, we report that a distinct inguinal beige adipose tissue (ibAT) depot lineage traces to the same Prx1+ cell origins as inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) but maintains higher thermogenic activity and capability during aging. We discovered that ibAT has the morphological appearance of human supraclavicular brown adipose tissue (scBAT) and, importantly, conserved molecular markers and developmental origins with human scBAT. Our findings reveal a distinct mouse beige adipose tissue depot and provide a preclinical model of human beige adipose tissue development and maintenance.
