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

Oxidized phosphatidylcholines (OxPCs) are implicated in chronic tissue damage. Hyperlipidemic LDL-R--deficient mice transgenic for an OxPC-recognizing IgM fragment (scFv-E06) are protected against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). To examine the effect of OxPC elimination at different stages of NAFLD progression, we used cre-dependent, adeno-associated virus serotype 8-mediated expression of the single-chain variable fragment of E06 (AAV8-scFv-E06) in hepatocytes of albumin-cre mice. AAV8-induced expression of scFv-E06 at the start of FPC diet protected mice from developing hepatic steatosis. Independently, expression of scFv-E06 in mice with established steatosis prevented the progression to hepatic fibrosis. Mass spectrometry-based oxophospho-lipidomics identified individual OxPC species that were reduced by scFv-E06 expression. In vitro, identified OxPC species dysregulated mitochondrial metabolism and gene expression in hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells. We demonstrate that individual OxPC species independently affect disease initiation and progression from hepatic steatosis to steatohepatitis, and that AAV-mediated expression of scFv-E06 is an effective therapeutic intervention.
