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 top cause of mortality in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is cardiovascular complications. However, mechanisms of NAFLD-associated vasculopathy remain understudied. Here, we show that blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs) from NAFLD subjects exhibit global transcriptional upregulation of chemokines and human leukocyte antigens. In mouse models of diet-induced NAFLD, we confirm heightened endothelial expressions of CXCL12 in the aortas and the liver vasculatures, and increased retention of infiltrated leukocytes within the vessel walls. To elucidate endothelial-immune crosstalk, we performed immunoprofiling by single-cell analysis, uncovering T cell intensification in NAFLD patients. Functionally, treatment with a CXCL12-neutralizing antibody is effective at moderating the enhanced chemotactic effect of NAFLD BOECs in recruiting CD8
