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

We analyzed the inheritance of body fat, leptin levels, plasma lipoprotein levels, insulin levels, and related traits in an intercross between inbred mouse strains CAST/Ei and C57BL/6J. CAST/Ei mice are unusually lean, with only approximately 8% of body weight as fat, whereas C57BL/6J mice have approximately 18% body fat. Quantitative trait locus analysis using > 200 F2 mice revealed highly significant loci (lod scores > 4.3) on chromosomes 2 (three separate loci) and 9 that contribute to mouse fat-pad mass for mice on a high-fat diet. Some loci also influenced plasma lipoprotein levels and insulin levels either on chow or high-fat diets. Two loci for body fat and lipoprotein levels (on central and distal chromosome 2) coincided with a locus having strong effects on hepatic lipase activity, an activity associated with visceral obesity and lipoprotein levels in humans. A locus contributing to plasma leptin levels (lod score 5.3) but not obesity was identified on chromosome 4, near the leptin receptor gene. These data identify candidate regions and candidate genes for studies of human obesity and diabetes, and suggest obesity is highly complex in terms of the number of genetic factors involved. Finally, they support the existence of specific genetic interactions between body fat, insulin metabolism, and lipoprotein metabolism.
