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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease characterized by an excessive accumulation of triacylglycerol in the liver. Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation product recovery process, which widely occurs in eukaryotic cells, responsible for the vital maintenance of cellular energy balance. Previously published studies have demonstrated that autophagy is closely related to NAFLD occurrence and maternal obesity increases the susceptibility of offspring to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, however, the underlying mechanism of this remains unclear. In the present study, NAFLD mouse models (offspring of an obese mother mouse via high-fat feeding) were generated, and the physiological indices of the liver were observed using total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein serum assay kits. The morphological changes of the liver were also observed via HE, Masson and oil red O staining. Reverse transcription-quantitative-PCR and western blotting were performed to detect changes of autophagy-related genes in liver or fibrosis marker proteins (α-smooth muscle actin or TGF-β
