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

background and purposeNon-alcoholic hepatic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a manifestation of the metabolic syndrome in the liver and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) represents its advanced stage. R17 derived from bouchardatine, shows benefits in the metabolic syndrome, but has not been tested in the liver. The present study examined the pharmacological effects of R17 in a model of NAFLD/NASH and its mode of action. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: The effects of R17 were examined in mice fed a high-fat (HF) diet to induce the pathological characteristics of NAFLD/NASH and in cultures of HuH7 cells. We used histological and immunohistochemical techniques along with western blotting and siRNA. Generation of ROS and apoptosis were measured. KEY

resultsAdministration of R17 (20 mg·kg CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: R17 has therapeutic potential for NAFLD/NASH. Its mode of action involves the elimination of ER and oxidative stresses, possibly via activating the LKB1-AMPK axis by inhibiting the activity of ATP synthase.
