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

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) occurs in the proximal renal tubule cells. We investigate the hepatic expression of SGLT2 and its related factors in patients with chronic liver disease. This is a retrospective human study. The liver tissues were biopsied from patients with chronic liver disease (n = 30). The expression levels of SGLT2 were evaluated by immunostaining. Furthermore, the undirected graphical model was used to identify factors associated with hepatic expression levels of SGLT2. The SGLT2 expression was observed in not only the kidney, but also the liver in immunostaining (SGLT2 intensity: kidney 165.8 ± 15.6, liver 114.4 ± 49.0 arbitrary units, P < 0.01) and immunoblotting. There was no significant difference in hepatic expression of SGLT2 in the stratified analysis according to age, sex, BMI, and the severity of the liver disease. In the undirected graphical model, SGLT2 directly interacted with various factors such as sex, fatty change, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, triglyceride, hemoglobin A1c, creatinine, and albumin (partial correlation coefficient 0.4-0.6 for sex and 0.2-0.4 for others). The expression of SGLT2 was observed in the hepatocytes of patients with chronic liver disease. The undirected graphical model demonstrated the complex interaction of hepatic expression levels of SGLT2 with gender, inflammation, renal function, and lipid/glucose/protein metabolisms.
