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

objectiveTo investigate the mRNA levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the liver tissues of rats with alcoholic liver disease.

methodsA total of 50 Wistar rats were randomly divided into a 4-week model group (

resultsThe liver tissues in 4 model groups showed a more worsened fatty liver degree and inflammation degree than those in control group (

conclusionHigh PPARα mRNA levels and low HIF-1α and VEGF mRNA levels in the liver tissues of rats with alcoholic liver disease may be closely related to fatty liver and inflammation reactions.
