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

The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist, a bile acid-activated nuclear receptor, has been shown to improve the histologic features of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH); however, a satisfactory effect on hepatic fibrosis has not been achieved. We aimed to investigate the combined effect of FXR agonist and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker on hepatic fibrogenesis in rat models of NASH. For 8 weeks, two rat models of NASH were developed. Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats were administered intraperitoneal injections of 1 mL/kg pig serum (PS) twice a week, whereas Fischer-344 rats were fed a choline-deficient, L-amino acid-defined diet (CDAA).
