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

Asprosin is glucogenic adipokine that exerts a wide repertoire of actions, including the regulation of appetite, insulin resistance and cell proliferation. At present, little is known about the actions of asprosin in the human placenta. The present study investigated the effects of asprosin on the transcriptome of the BeWo and JEG‑3 placental cell lines, and assessed the expression of FBN1/Furin and asprosin's candidate receptors in healthy placentas when compared against placentas from pregnancies where the carrier had gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). A number of methods, including tissue culture, clinical sample collection, RNA extraction, RNA sequencing, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and gene enrichment analyses were used in the present study. RNA sequencing revealed that asprosin induced cell specific differential expression for 51 genes in BeWo cells, and 204 in JEG‑3 cells, with nine common differentially expressed genes in both
