Cold Exposure Induces Swine Brown Adipocytes to Display an Island-like Distribution with Atypical Characteristics.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The original purpose of this study was to compare human and pig scRNA-seq data to determine why pigs do not have brown adipocytes. However, during the experiment, we identified brown adipocytes in pigs. Therefore, we aimed to confirm that these adipocytes were brown adipocytes via a comparative analysis using typical mouse brown adipose tissue sections. We found that swine brown adipocytes were distributed in an island-like pattern, with three typical characteristics: (1) numerous mitochondria and small lipid droplets, (2) a cellular volume smaller than that of white adipocytes, and (3) expression of specific marker genes (
