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

Sunite sheep are well-adapted to the cold Mongolian steppe, exhibiting robust metabolic flexibility in which adipose tissue contributes significantly to energy homeostasis. Proteomics analysis of scapular fat in Sunite sheep during winter and summer identified 432 upregulated and 493 downregulated differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). These DEPs were notably enriched in essential biological functions such as energy metabolism, lipogenesis, and thermogenesis. Furthermore, they exhibited significant enrichment of signaling pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation and fatty acid metabolism. Meanwhile, the precursor protein of asprosin (ASP),profibrillin-1 (pFBN1), showed a marked decrease during winter. Given that ASP had been demonstrated to exert metabolic regulatory effects promoting lipid synthesis and suppressing thermogenesis in model animals, it was hypothesized that the seasonal downregulation of pFBN1 might drive adaptive thermogenesis through ASP. Therefore, this study focused on functional validation of the ASP-encoding gene FBN1 (fibrillin-1). In Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (ADMSCs),
