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

The inhibitory effects of 1,3-diacylglycerol (DAG) on diet-induced lipid accumulation in liver and abdominal adipose tissue of rats were investigated in the present study. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given free access to diets containing 7 wt% TAG (low TAG), 20 wt% TAG (high TAG), or 20 wt% DAG (high DAG), respectively, for 8 wk. The body weight of rats in the 20% high-TAG group increased significantly, and the weights of their abdominal adipose tissue and liver also showed a significant increase compared with rats in the low-TAG group. However, the high-DAG diet resulted in both a significant reduction in body weight gain (with a decrease of 70.5%) and an increase in the ratio of abdominal fat to body weight (by 127%) compared with the high-TAG diet. As well, the liver TAG and serum TAG levels of the high-DAG group were significantly lower than those of the high-TAG group. These effects were associated with up-regulation of acyl-CoA carnitine acyltransferase (ACAT) and down-regulation of acyl-CoA DAG acyltransferase (DGAT) in the liver. However, no significant difference was observed in the activities of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase among the groups (P > 0.05). The present results indicate that dietary DAG reduced fat accumulation in viscera and body, and these effects may be involved with up-regulation of ACAT and down-regulation of DGAT in the liver.
