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

backgroundDihydromyricetin (DHM), a flavonoid compound of natural origin, has been identified in high concentrations in ampelopsis grossedentata and has a broad spectrum of biological and pharmacological functions, particularly in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism. The objective of this research was to examine how DHM affected nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its underlying mechanisms involved in the progression of NAFLD in a rat model subjected to a high-fat diet (HFD). Additionally, the study examines the underlying mechanisms in a cellular model of steatohepatitis using palmitic acid (PA)-treated HepG2 cells, with a focus on the potential correlation between autophagy and hepatic insulin resistance (IR) in the progress of NAFLD.

methodsSD rats were exposed to a HFD for a period of eight weeks, followed by a treatment with DHM (at doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg·kg

resultsThe administration of DHM demonstrated efficacy in ameliorating hepatic steatosis, as seen in both in vivo and in vitro experimental models. Moreover, DHM administration significantly increased GLUT2 expression, decreased G6Pase and PEPCK expression, and improved IR in the hepatic tissue of rats fed a HFD and in cells exhibiting steatosis. DHM treatment elevated Beclin 1, ATG 5, and LC3-II levels in hepatic steatosis models, correlating with autolysosome formation. The expression of AMPK levels and its downstream target PGC-1α, and PPARα were decreased in HFD-fed rats and PA-treated hepatocytes, which were reversed through DHM treatment. AMPK/ PGC-1α and PPARα knockdown reduced the impact of DHM on hepatic autophagy, IR and accumulation of hepatic lipid.

conclusionsOur findings revealed that AMPK/ PGC-1α, PPARα-dependent autophagy pathways in the pathophysiology of IR and hepatic steatosis has been shown, suggesting that DHM might potentially serve as a promising treatment option for addressing this disease.
