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

The study demonstrated the crucial role of Sirt1 gene in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) related to the influence of Sirt1 on oxidative stress and glycolipid metabolism. The 16-week-old genetically diabetic db/db mice were characterized with downregulated expression of Sirt1 in the liver accompanied by hepatomegaly and a larger size of fat vacuoles in hepatocytes. In db/m mice, silencing Sirt1 gene induced hepatic steatosis and significantly increased serum AST. Additionally, the levels of triglycerides in blood and liver of these mice were elevated. However, all pathological changes in the liver of Sirt1-knockdown db/m mice were less pronounced than in 16-week-old db/db mice. Further experiments showed that oxidative stress and PGC-1α-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction are implicated in pathological changes of lipid metabolism in T2DM-induced NAFLD provoked by Sirt1 silencing. This study showed that down-regulation of Sirt1 expression plays the key role in pathological processes developed during T2DM-induced abnormalities of lipid metabolism in the liver. Thus, up-regulation of Sirt1 expression seems to be a promising strategy in early prevention of T2DM-induced NAFLD.
