Dietary Macronutrient Composition Determines the Contribution of DGAT1 to Alcoholic Steatosis.
Article in Alcoholism, clinical and experimental research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 first stage of alcoholic liver disease is hepatic steatosis. While alcohol is known to profoundly impact hepatic lipid metabolism, gaps in our knowledge remain regarding the mechanisms leading to alcohol-induced hepatic triglyceride (TG) accumulation. As the sole enzymes catalyzing the final step in TG synthesis, diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase (DGAT) 1 and 2 are potentially important contributors to alcoholic steatosis. Our goal was to study the effects of dietary fat content on alcohol-induced hepatic TG accumulation, and the relative contribution of DGAT1 and DGAT2 to alcoholic steatosis.
methodsThese studies were carried out in wild-type (WT) mice fed alcohol-containing high-fat or low-fat formulations of Lieber-DeCarli liquid diets, as well as follow-up studies in Dgat1
resultsA direct comparison of the low-fat and high-fat liquid diet in WT mice revealed surprisingly similar levels of alcoholic steatosis, although there were underlying differences in the pattern of hepatic lipid accumulation and expression of genes involved in hepatic lipid metabolism. Follow-up studies in Dgat1
conclusionsDietary macronutrient composition influences the relative contribution of DGAT1 and DGAT2 to alcoholic steatosis, such that in the context of alcohol and a high-fat diet, DGAT1 predominates.
