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

In this study, the fraction extracted from turmeric powder with 50% ethanol and fractionated with n-hexane were administered to diet-induced NASH model rats. NASH model was prepared with SD rats by feeding an originally designed choline-deficient, high-fat, high-fructose (HFF-CD) diet for 10 weeks. To the HFF-CD diet, hexane fraction and 50% ethanol fraction after hexane fractionation were added at 100 mg/kg body weight. 10 weeks later, blood samples and liver were collected for the following parameters: lipid weights, serum ALT, AST, TG, liver TG, TBARS levels, lipid metabolism-related gene expression and histopathological examination of the liver. As the results, the hexane fraction and 50% ethanol fraction showed a decrease in lipid weight, a decrease in hepatic TG, and activation of PPAR-α in the lipid metabolism-related gene test. These results suggest that the hexane fraction of turmeric has an inhibitory effect on fat accumulation in the liver by promoting lipid metabolism in NASH model rats.
