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

Lipid droplets (LDs) are intracellular organelles that store neutral lipids as energy reservoir. Recent studies suggest that autophagy is important in maintaining the homeostasis of intracellular LDs by either regulating the biogenesis of LDs, mobilization of fatty acids, or degradation of LDs in cultured cells. Increasing evidence also supports a role of autophagy in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism in vivo in mammals. In response to fasting/starvation, lipids are mobilized from the adipose tissue to the liver, which increases the number of intracellular LDs and stimulates fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis. However, it is still controversial and unclear how impaired autophagy in hepatocytes affects the biogenesis of LDs in mouse livers. In the present study, it was demonstrated that hepatic autophagy-deficient (L-Atg)5 knockout mice had impaired adaptation to fasting-induced hepatic biogenesis of LDs. The maladaptation to fasting-induced hepatic biogenesis of LDs in L-Atg5 knockout mouse livers was not due to hepatic changes of de novo lipogenesis, secretion of very-low-density lipoprotein or fatty acid β-oxidation, but it was due to persistent nuclear factor-like 2 activation because biogenesis of LDs restored in L-Atg5/nuclear factor-like 2 double-knockout mice.
