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

backgroundNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is caused by fat metabolism disorders and thereby abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat in hepatocytes, and characterized by steatosis, inflammation, fibrosis, apoptosis or necrosis.

aimThis study was carried out to explore the correlation between gene expression profiles of rat livers and the occurrence and progression of NAFLD at the transcriptional level.

methodsA rat model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) was established by feeding male rats with high-fat emulsion via gavage, and Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array was used to detect gene expression profiles of liver tissues obtained from male rats following 0, 2, 4, and 6 weeks of high-fat emulsion feeding. Methods of bioinformatics and systems biology were applied to analyze the correlation between gene expression changes and physiological activities involved in NAFLD.

resultsIn total, 93 function-known genes, including 36 up-regulated and 57 down-regulated, differed significantly in expression compared to those of control rats, and 18 physiological activities were closely related to NAFLD. Especially, the activity of cell differentiation was decreased during the whole process of NAFLD, and the activities of inflammation response, stimulus response, cell migration and adhesion were attenuated in the second, fourth and sixth week, respectively. In the fourth and sixth weeks, lipid metabolism and cell apoptosis were augmented, and the former might be associated with the enhanced expression of plin, acsl6, scd2, elovl3, etc.

conclusionThese data provide useful information on the global gene expression changes due to high-fat emulsion feeding and bring important insights into the mechanisms of NAFLD.
