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

aimAntioxidant therapy for with vitamin E appears to be effective for the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the mechanism of action and optimal therapeutic dosage is unclear. The present study was undertaken to examine whether the effects of α-tocopherol (α-Toc) on NAFLD are dose-dependent in a diet-induced obese model.

methodsMale mice were fed standard chow, high-fat (HF) diet, HF diet with low-dose, or with high dose of α-Toc supplementation. Histological findings, triglyceride content, and the levels of protein expression related to fatty acid synthesis/oxidation such as carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT-1) of liver were evaluated. In addition, 2-tetradecylglycidic acid (TDGA), a CPT-1 inhibitor, was administered to mice fed HF diet with low-dose of α-Toc. Finally, HepG2 cells in fat-loaded environment were treated with 0-50 μM α-Toc.
