Selective Inhibition of 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 Attenuates High-Fat Diet-Induced Hepatic Steatosis in Mice.
Article in Drug design, development and therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
introductionThe effect of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type1 (11β-HSD1) inhibition on hepatic steatosis is incompletely understood. Here, we aimed to determine the therapeutic effect of BVT.2733, a selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitor, on hepatic steatosis. MATERIALS AND
methodsC57B/6J mice were randomly divided into a low-fat diet (LFD) fed group and a high-fat diet (HFD) fed group. Mice were fed with HFD for 28 weeks which induced obesity and severe hepatic steatosis. The two groups were further divided into four groups as follows: LFD, LFD with BVT.2733, HFD, and HFD with BVT.2733. Mice in LFD+BVT and HFD+BVT groups were intraperitoneally injected with BVT.2733 daily for 30 days. Effects of BVT.2733 on mice body weight, serum lipid profile, serum free fatty acids (FFAs), glucocorticoid levels, gene expression in adipose and liver tissues were assessed.
resultsInjection of a low dose of BVT.2733 (50 mg/kg/day) reduced body weight and hyperlipidemia, but did not improve glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in diet-induced obese mice. The low dose of BVT.2733 attenuated hepatic steatosis, liver injury, and liver lipolytic gene expression in diet-induced obese mice. Besides, the low dose of BVT.2733 reduced fat mass and lipolysis in visceral adipose tissues, hepatic FFAs, and serum corticosterone levels in diet-induced obese mice.
conclusionOur study shows that moderate inhibition of 11β-HSD1 by BVT.2733 reduces FFAs and corticosterone synthesis in fatty tissues, thereby attenuates the delivery of corticosterone and FFAs to the liver. Collectively, this prevents high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis.
