Protective Effects of Evogliptin on Steatohepatitis in High-Fat-Fed Mice.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
There are few studies on the effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors on steatohepatitis. We explored whether evogliptin (Evo), a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, protects against steatohepatitis in a high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice and whether these effects involve modulation of mitophagy. Adult male C57BL/J mice were divided into the normal diet (ND), HFD (45% of energy from fat) with Evo (250 mg/kg) (HFD + Evo), and HFD groups at 4 weeks of age and were sacrificed at 20 weeks of age. The HFD group showed hepatic lipid accumulation; this was decreased in the Evo + HFD group. There was an increased 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHDG) expression in the HFD group compared to ND mice. However, 8-OHDG expression levels were significantly decreased in the HFD + Evo group. Expressions of the mitophagy markers PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), Parkin, and BNIP-3 (BCL2 Interacting Protein 3) were significantly increased in the HFD group. However, the expressions of these markers were lower in the HFD + Evo group than that in the HFD group. Phospho-Akt was upregulated and p53 was downregulated in the HFD + Evo group compared to the HFD group. Evogliptin may alleviate steatohepatitis in HFD-fed mice by ameliorating steatosis and oxidative stress and by modulating mitophagy in the liver.
