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

End-stage liver disease (ESLD) is a rare but often fatal complication of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In NAFLD, insulin resistance, which is clinically defined as the impairment of insulin's ability to maintain glucose homeostasis, is associated with perturbations in insulin action that promote triglyceride accumulation, such as increasing de novo lipogenesis. However, the key step in the development of ESLD is not the accumulation of triglycerides, but hepatocyte injury. Whether and how triglycerides promote hepatocyte injury remains unclear. Consequently, it is difficult to predict whether drugs designed to reduce hepatic triglycerides will prevent the most important complications of NAFLD.
