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

Although prevalent, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is not currently treated effectively with medicines. Initially, using wild-type and genome-edited clones of the human hepatocyte cell line HepG2, we show that activation of the orphan G protein-coupled receptor GPR35 is both able and sufficient to block liver X-receptor-mediated lipid accumulation. Studies on hepatocytes isolated from both wild-type and GPR35 knock-out mice were consistent with a similar effect of GPR35 agonists in these cells, but because of marked differences in the pharmacology of GPR35 agonists and antagonists at the mouse and human orthologues, as well as elevated basal lipid levels in hepatocytes from the GPR35 knock-out mice, no definitive conclusion could be reached. To overcome this, we generated and characterized a transgenic knock-in mouse line in which the corresponding human GPR35 splice variant replaced the mouse orthologue. In hepatocytes from these humanized GPR35 mice, activation of this receptor was shown conclusively to prevent, and also reverse, lipid accumulation induced by liver X-receptor stimulation. These studies highlight the potential to target GPR35 in the context of fatty liver diseases.
