Exploring Acute Liver Damage: Slimming Health Foods and CYP3A4 Induction.
Article in Yonago acta medica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Background: Patients taking multiple drugs and various health foods often develop acute hepatitis. We hypothesized that the interaction between health foods and drug metabolism was the cause of severe liver injury in these patients. Therefore, we studied changes in the activity of the drug-metabolizing enzyme, cytochrome P450 (CYP), using slimming health food extracts and elucidated the molecular mechanism of liver injury onset through hepatotoxicity evaluation. Methods: For cytotoxicity testing, health food extract samples were added to HepG2 cells derived from hepatic parenchymal cells and culture medium, and cell viability was calculated 48 h after culture. To evaluate CYP3A4 induction, 3-1-10 cells constructed with a reporter linked to CYP3A4 gene were used, and reporter activity was measured 48 h after culture. Results: In the chronological order of the slimming health food intake history of the patient, niacinamide and To confirm CYP3A4 induction in humans, humanized CYP3A/pregnane X receptor (PXR) mice were treated with forskolin. CYP3A4 mRNA expression levels were elevated 3.9 times compared to that of the control group ( Conclusion:
