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

Fasting induces lipid accumulation in the liver, while the mechanisms by which fasting dysregulates liver fatty acid oxidation are not clear. Fatty acid ω-oxidation is induced in the fasting state, and administration of dicarboxylic acids to fasting animals decreases plasma ketone bodies. We hypothesized that endogenous dicarboxylic acids might play a role in controlling mitochondrial β-oxidation in fasting animals. A peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha agonist and an inhibitor for peroxisomal β-oxidation were administered to the fasting rats to investigate the role of dicarboxylic acids in liver fatty acid oxidation and lipid homeostasis. We observed that excessive β-oxidation of endogenous dicarboxylic acids by peroxisomes generated considerable levels of succinate in the liver. Excessive succinate oxidation subsequently increased the mitochondrial NADH/NAD
