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

Obesity poses a serious threat to human health, with induced skeletal muscle dysfunction significantly increasing the risk of metabolic syndrome. In obesity, it is known that visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mediates the dysregulation of the adipose-muscle axis through exosome-delivered miRNAs, but the associated regulatory mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. This study established an AAV-mediated miR-155 obese mouse model and a co-culture system (HFD VAD-evs/RAW264.7 cells/C2C12 cells) to demonstrate that high-fat diet-induced VA-derived extracellular vesicles (HFD VAD-evs) preferentially accumulate in skeletal muscle and induce developmental impairment. HFD VAD-evs disrupt skeletal muscle homeostasis through dual mechanisms: the direct suppression of myoblast development via exosomal miR-155 cargo and the indirect inhibition of myogenesis through macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses in skeletal muscle. Notably, miR-155 inhibition in HFD VAD-evs reversed obesity-associated myogenic deficits. These findings provide novel mechanistic insights into obesity-induced skeletal muscle dysregulation and facilitate potential therapeutic strategies targeting exosomal miRNA signaling.
