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
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) usually takes decades to develop into cirrhosis, which limits the longitudinal study of NAFLD. This work aims at developing a NAFLD-caused cirrhosis model in gerbil and examining the dynamic relationship between hepatic lipid metabolism and cirrhosis. We fed gerbil a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet (HFHCD) for 24 weeks, and recorded the gerbil's phenotype at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 weeks. The model's pathological process, lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, liver collagen deposition and presence of relevant cytokines were tested and evaluated during the full-time frame of disease onset. The gerbil model can induce non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) within 9 weeks, and can develop cirrhosis after 21 weeks induction. The model's lipids metabolism disorder is accompanied with the liver damage development. During the NAFLD progression, triglycerides (TG) and free fatty acids (FFA) have presented distinct rise and fall tendency, and the turning points are at the fibrosis stage. Besides that, the ratios of total cholesterol (CHO) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) exhibited constant growth tendency, and have a good linear relationship with hepatic stellate cells (HSC) (R
