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

backgroundAlcohol consumption has been in existence in the world for many centuries and it is the major cause of death and injury worldwide. Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is caused due to excess and chronic alcohol intake. Studies across the globe have identified several pathways leading to ALD. Adipose tissue which has been considered as an energy storage organ is also found to play a major role in ALD progression by secreting hormones and cytokines known as adipokines or adipocytokines. Ethanol affects the metabolic and innate immune activities of adipose tissue contributing to alcohol-induced injury of the tissues.

objectiveWe aimed at 1) summarizing the metabolism and progression of ALD 2) summarizing about the structure and effect of ethanol induced oxidative stress on adipose tissue 3) reviewing the available data on the effect of ethanol on adipose tissue mass and adipokine secretion in both rodent models and alcoholic patients.

methodsThe article is summarized based on the original literature and reviews in studying the effect of ethanol on adipose tissue.

resultsStudies on alcoholic patients and rodent models has shown that chronic ethanol consumption reduces adipose tissue mass and causes CYP2E1 mediated oxidative stress and inflammation of adipose tissue. Further hyperlipolysis is observed in adipose tissue that leads to excess fatty acid release that gets transported and deposited in the liver resulting in hepatic steatosis.

conclusionStudies show that adipose tissue plays a major role in the progression of ALD. So understanding of the mechanisms linking ethanol induced adipose tissue injury with ALD progression would help us in identifying potential therapeutic targets.
