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

introductionWe investigated the effect of Ricetrienol, which is an anti-oxidant extracted from rice bran, and α-tocopherol on the adipocytokine abnormalities and fatty liver in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 18 OLETF rats were bred using a 30% sucrose solution (the diabetic group; DM), whereas another 18 OLETF rats were bred using ordinary water (the non-diabetic obese group; OB) as drinking water, respectively. After the sucrose-fed rats developed diabetes, all of the rats from the diabetic and obese groups were randomly divided into three groups. Then each group was fed either standard chow (DM-S, OB-S group), 0.05% Ricetrienol-containing chow (DM-R, OB-R group) or 0.05%α-tocopherol-containing chow (DM-A, OB-A group), respectively. After 12 weeks of feeding, all the rats were killed. Plasma insulin, adiponectin, resistin and leptin were assayed by enzyme immunoassay. Histopathological findings of liver tissue were scored according to Brunt and Kleiner's method, and triglyceride contents of the liver tissue were investigated.

resultsPlasma adiponectin was significantly reduced in DM-S compared with OB-S, but it had significantly increased in DM-R and DM-A as opposed to DM-S. Plasma resistin showed a significant increase in DM-S compared with OB-S, but it was significantly reduced in DM-A than in DM-S. Though the triglyceride contents of liver tissue significantly increased in DM-S as opposed to OB-S, they were significantly reduced in DM-R compared with DM-S. Histopathological scores were significantly higher in DM-S than OB-S.

conclusionsThe present study shows that Ricetrienol might prevent adipocytokine abnormalities and fatty liver in OLETF diabetic rats. (J Diabetes Invest, doi: 10.1111/j.2040-1124.2010.00090.x, 2011).
