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 (NAFLD) is an emerging liver disease worldwide. In subset of patients, NAFLD progresses to its advanced form, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which is accompanied with inflammation and fibrosis. Saturated free fatty acid-induced hepatocyte apoptosis is a feature of NASH. Death signaling in NASH does not always result in apoptosis, but can alternatively lead to the survival of cells presenting signs of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic signals. With the current lack of established treatments for NASH, it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for disease development and progression. This review focuses on the latest findings in hepatocyte death signaling and discusses possible targets for intervention, including caspases, death receptor and c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 signaling, oxidative stress, and endoplasmic reticulum stress, as well as epigenomic factors.
