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

objectivesPatients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are increasing worldwide, and preventive measures are an urgent need and primary concern today.

aimThis study aimed to develop and clarify the usefulness of the SHRSP5/Dmcr rat, derived from a stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat, as a novel animal model for time-course analysis of steatohepatitis and the severe fibrosis progression often observed in the disease.

methodsTen-week-old male SHRSP5/Dmcr rats were divided into six groups: half were fed a high-fat and high-cholesterol-containing diet (HFC diet), and the others the control, stroke-prone (SP) diet for 2, 8, and 14 weeks.

resultsThe HFC diet significantly increased serum transaminase and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase activities, tumor necrosis factor alpha levels, and serum and hepatic total cholesterol levels over time. In contrast, this diet decreased serum albumin, glucose, and adiponectin levels throughout or the later stage of the feeding period, but did not influence serum insulin levels. Histopathologically, the HFC diet increased microvesicular steatosis, and focal or spotty necrosis with lymphocyte infiltrations were observed in the liver at 2 weeks, macrovesicular steatosis, ballooned hepatocytes with Mallory-Denk body formation in some, and multilobular necrosis and fibrosis at 8 weeks. Interestingly, this fibrosis formed a honeycomb network at 14 weeks. These changes are very similar to those observed in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

conclusionsSHRSP5/Dmcr rats appear to be a useful model for analyzing the time-dependent changes of HFC diet-induced steatohepatitis and fibrosis progression.
