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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease covers a wide spectrum of liver pathologies which range from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Polyphenols are members of a very large family of plant-derived compounds that can have beneficial effects on human health, and thus their study has become an increasingly important area of human nutrition research. The aim of the present review is to compile published data concerning the effects of both isolated polyphenols as well as polyphenol extracts, on hepatocyte and liver fat accumulation under different steatosis-inducing conditions. The results reported clearly show that this group of biomolecules is able to reduce fat accumulation, but further studies are needed to establish the optimal dose and treatment period length. With regard to the potential mechanisms of action, there is a good consensus. The anti-lipidogenic effect of polyphenols is mainly due to reduced fatty acid and triacylglycerol synthesis, increased in fatty acid oxidation, and reduced of oxidative stress and inflammation. As a general conclusion, it can be stated that polyphenols are biomolecules which produce hepatoprotective effects. To date, these beneficial effects have been demonstrated in cultured cells and animal models. Thus, studies performed in humans are needed before these molecules can be considered as truly useful tools in the prevention of liver steatosis.
