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

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease closely associated with metabolic syndrome, but there are no validated pharmacological therapies. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) on NAFLD. Mice were fed either a control diet or a high-fat diet (HFD) with or without COS (200 or 400 mg/kg body weight (BW)) by oral gavage for seven weeks. Administration with COS significantly lowered serum lipid levels in the HFD-fed mice. The hepatic lipid accumulation was significantly decreased by COS, which was attributed to decreased expressions of lipogenic genes and increased expressions of fatty β-oxidation-related genes. Moreover, pro-inflammatory cytokines, neutrophils infiltration, and macrophage polarization were decreased by COS in the liver. Furthermore, COS ameliorated hepatic oxidative stress by activating the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway and upregulating gene expressions of antioxidant enzymes. These beneficial effects were mediated by the activation of the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway. Therefore, COS might be a potent dietary supplement to ameliorate NAFLD.
