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

backgroundNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of liver disease worldwide, and no effective treatment exists until now. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are becoming the preferred therapeutic option for the management of obesity and are becoming the preferred treatment options for the management of both NAFLD and type 2 diabetes mellitus, but the molecular mechanisms are still unclear.

methodsForty-five healthy male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: normal control, high-fat diet (HFD) group, HFD + liraglutide (100 mg/kg body weight) group. Biochemical parameters and adipokine levels were examined in the serum of rats. In order to judge the degree of steatosis of NAFLD, the magnetic resonance imaging and histopathology of the liver were also studied. RESULTS AND

conclusionLiraglutide caused a significant decrease in the serum fasting glucose and improved the insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and liver enzymes. It reduced the adipokine level, and alleviated the histopathology of liver of rats in the steatosis, ballooning, and lobular inflammation when compared to the HFD group. Thus, liraglutide demonstrated amelioration of NAFLD by decreasing the adipokine levels in this animal model and seems to be a promising molecule for the management of NAFLD.
