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

backgroundNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common liver diseases in affluent countries. Recent studies have reported that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are important regulators of hepatic steatosis. However, the role and mechanism of circRNA in NAFLD are poorly understood.

aimsThis study is to reveal the role and mechanism of circRNA in NAFLD.

methodsThrough NAFLD-related circRNA microarrays, we used real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to screen circScd1 levels in control and test groups of mice fed a high-fat diet. RNA interference and over-expression plasmid vectors were used to manipulate the expression of circScd1, and the biological effects were evaluated by oil red staining, triglyceride detection, and western blot analysis.

resultsCircScd1 expression was significantly lower in NAFLD tissues than in control tissues. Moreover, over-expression of circScd1 significantly inhibited the formation of lipid droplets. Western blot analyses showed that the protein levels of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) were significantly increased. However, knockdown of circScd1 significantly promoted the degree of hepatocellular lipidosis and reduced the expression levels of JAK2 and STAT5.

conclusionsAberrant expression of circScd1 affects the extent of hepatocellular lipidosis in NAFLD and promotes fatty liver disease via the JAK2/STAT5 pathway.
