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

miRNAs are key regulators of metabolic homeostasis, yet their role in obesity-associated dysfunction remains incompletely understood. Here, we identify miR-432 as a driver of systemic metabolic dysregulation. Serum miRNA profiling revealed a positive correlation between miR-432 expression and obesity/type 2 diabetes mellitus. Functionally, adipose-specific miR-432 exacerbated high-fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. Similarly, hepatic-specific miR-432 aggravated hepatic steatosis and systemic glucose dysregulation, while skeletal muscle-specific miR-432 disrupted glucose homeostasis without affecting body composition. Mechanistically, miR-432 disrupted insulin sensitivity by inhibiting the PIK3R3/AKT pathway and perturbed lipid homeostasis by suppressing the PIK3R3/PPAR-α axis. Notably, obesity-induced miR-432 upregulation was predominantly localized in adipocytes and driven by the CDK5/PPAR-γ axis. Furthermore, adipocyte-derived exosomal miR-432 was identified as a mediator of systemic metabolic dysfunction, facilitating intertissue cross talk in obesity. Collectively, our data demonstrate that miR-432 exacerbates obesity-induced dysregulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS: miR-432 overexpression in adipose tissue, liver, and skeletal muscle exacerbates high-fat diet-induced disruption of metabolic homeostasis. miR-432 impairs glucose homeostasis by suppressing the PIK3R3/AKT pathway and disrupts lipid homeostasis via inhibition of the PIK3R3/PPAR-α axis or directly suppressing PPAR-α. Obesity-induced elevation of miR-432 is predominantly localized in adipocytes and driven by the CDK5/PPAR-γ axis. Adipocyte-derived exosomal miR-432 mediates systemic metabolic dysfunction, establishing an intertissue regulatory network.
