Chlorogenic Acid Improves NAFLD by Regulating gut Microbiota and GLP-1.

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
Our previous studies have shown that chlorogenic acid (CGA) could significantly improve acute and chronic liver injury through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. However, its effect on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are not entirely clear. This study aims to explore the effect of CGA on NAFLD induced by high-fat diet (HFD) and whether it regulates the gut microbiota and Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). NAFLD mice were established by HFD and treated with or without CGA. Serum transaminase, fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood lipids, insulin, GLP-1 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were detected. Liver histology was evaluated with Hematoxylin-eosin staining. Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway was analyzed with western blot and inflammatory cytokines were detected with real-time PCR. The content of gut microbiota were determined with real-time PCR of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. Expressions of intestine tight junctional protein were examined with immunohistochemistry. CGA could alleviate HFD-induced hepatic steatosis and inflammation, reduce serum transaminase, FBG and blood lipids, increase insulin sensitivity. CGA also could reverse HFD-induced activation of TLR4 signaling pathway and expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in liver. Meanwhile, CGA increased the content of Bifidobacterium and reduced the content of
