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

backgroundThe increasing incidence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has resulted in it becoming a common cause of liver-related mortality; however, no efficient treatment has been established. It has been reported that bariatric surgery improves metabolic comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus and NASH. Although the mechanism is unclear, it is thought that the changes in bile acid (BA) signaling via its nuclear receptor, farnesoid X receptor (FXR), produce various metabolic effects. We sought to investigate the effects and mechanisms of bariatric surgery on NASH improvement.

methodsMale Sprague-Dawley rats were fed by a high-fat and high-fructose diet, which results in obesity, insulin resistance, and NASH. Rats underwent duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB), which is a main component of bariatric procedures. The liver pathological findings and the expression level of mRNA of FXR were investigated. The plasma BA level was measured in peripheral and portal vein blood.

resultsDJB suppressed weight gain, improved insulin resistance, and ameliorated NASH mainly in a point of inflammation. The plasma BA level along with the expression of FXR and its target transcriptional factor, small heterodimer partner (SHP), in the liver were elevated.

conclusionsDJB has a direct effect on NASH improvement, and there is a possibility that an anti-inflammatory effect is functioning as a part of the mechanism. The increase of plasma bile acid level followed by the stimulation of FXR signaling may contribute to this phenomenon.
