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

Diabetic and obese patients have a high prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This condition groups a spectrum of conditions varying from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), with or without fibrosis. Multiple factors are involved in the development of NAFLD. However, details about its pathogenesis and factors that promote the progression to NASH are still missing. Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) regulate metabolic, immune, and hepatic stellate cell functions. Increasing evidence suggests they may have roles in the progression from NAFLD to NASH. Following the PRISMA reporting guidelines, we conducted a systematic review to evaluate all clinical and experimental studies published in the literature correlating GH and IGF-1 to inflammation and fibrosis in NAFLD and NASH. Our results showed that GH and IGF-1 have a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of NASH, acting in slightly different ways to produce a synergic effect. Indeed, GH may mediate its protective effect in the pathogenesis of NASH by regulating lipogenesis pathways, while IGF-1 has the same effect by regulating cholesterol transport. Therefore, they could be used as therapeutic strategies in preventing NAFLD progression to NASH.
