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

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in body weight, liver weight, blood glucose, liver injury markers, pro-inflammatory factors and oxidative stress marker levels in obese mice with HFD induced NAFLD after semaglutide use. Patients and methods: The 24 C57BL6J mice were randomly divided into three groups (NCD, HFD and Sema) for the assessment of metabolic status, inflammatory factor and oxidative stress marker levels, liver histopathology in mice. Liver metabolomics was determined by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method. Results: The mice body weight, liver weight, blood glucose, TG, TCHO, LDL and pro-inflammatory factors were significantly reduced after semaglutide. Meanwhile, semaglutide increased the SOD level. Semaglutide treatment significantly improved the pathological changes such as hepatocyte steatosis, balloon degeneration and lymphoid foci by HE. It also significantly reduced lipid droplet by Oil Red O. The mitochondria were swollen, the volume increased, the cristae were partially broken and reduced, the intramembrane matrix was partially dissolved, and the mitophagy structure was visible in the visual field. There were 6 metabolites down-regulated and 2 metabolites significantly up-regulated after semaglutide treatment. Conclusions: Semaglutide can reduce blood glucose level and liver fat accumulation and play an anti-inflammatory role in advanced NAFLD that due to the effects of HFD.
