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

Chemerin (retinoic acid receptor responder 2; RARRES2) is a secreted chemoattractant/adipokine that is expressed mainly in white adipose tissue, liver, and placenta and becomes bioactive after C-terminal proteolytic processing into isoforms with distinct activities. This review summarizes (i) chemerin biosynthesis, processing, receptors, and signaling (CMKLR1/ChemR23, GPR1, and CCRL2), (ii) key physiological roles in immune cell trafficking, adipogenesis, glucose and lipid homeostasis, and vascular biology, and (iii) current evidence linking chemerin signaling to major metabolic disorders and selected nonmetabolic diseases. Overall, circulating chemerin is frequently elevated in obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, Type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and hypertension and often correlates with inflammatory markers; however, heterogeneity in study design, confounding, and limited isoform-specific measurements complicate causal inference and diagnostic validation. Beyond metabolism, chemerin signaling has been implicated in inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis) and multiple cancers with tumor type-specific pro- or antitumor effects. Standardized assays, isoform-resolved measurements, and prospective studies are needed to clarify disease mechanisms and determine the clinical utility of chemerin as a biomarker or target.
