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

Adipose tissue ATGL has emerged as an important player in cardiovascular disease. Myocardial infarction is accompanied by sympathetic stimulation and activation of white adipose tissue and peripheral lipolysis. We therefore investigate here the role of adipocyte ATGL in a murine model of cardiac ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) by using an inducible, adipocyte specific KO of ATGL (iatATGL-KO). Notably this led to successfully inhibited lipolysis during cardiac ischemia, and KO mice exhibited aggravated cardiac dysfunction and enhanced scar formation after 28 days I/R. This phenotype went along with multiple structural and molecular alterations mainly in the subcutaneous white adipose tissue depot (iWAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). The iatATGL-KO mainly reduced BAT activation as well as adiponectin-secretion. In the heart spatial transcriptomic analysis suggested higher mechanical stress in the remote myocardium, which went along with higher oxygen consumption rates (OCR) and higher dependency on glucose as substrate after 24 h I/R. Taken together, iatATGL-KO hearts after I/R seem to be affected in multiple ways, such as a reduction in cardioprotective factors from iWAT and BAT as well as an oxygen wasting effect in the remote zone of the heart, which contribute to the worse outcome. This indicates a time and depot-specific role of adipocyte ATGL in cardiac ischemia and reperfusion injury.
