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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a public health problem worldwide associated with high morbidity and hepatic steatosis, but no effective therapeutic interventions. Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (MGIG), a derivative of an active component of Glycyrrhiza glabra, is widely used for the treatment of inflammatory liver diseases due to its potent anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective activities. Hence, this study aimed to study the effects of MGIG on hepatic steatosis in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Oil Red O staining and transmission electron microscopy revealed a decrease in lipid accumulation in the liver after MGIG treatment along with improved mitochondrial ultramicrostructures. Metabonomic analysis demonstrated that MGIG intervention increased glutamate utilization in mitochondria by promoting the uptake of glutamate into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. The NAD
