Does Autophagy have a Role in the Pathogenesis of Pediatric Hepatic Steatosis?
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hepatic steatosis has become the most common cause of chronic liver disease among children worldwide. Lipophagy has been considered as a pathway affecting steatosis development and progression.
objectivethis study aimed to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of Beclin1 and LC3A in pediatric hepatic tissues with steatosis and to correlate their expression with clinicopathological parameters.
methodsthis study included 81 Egyptian pediatric patients with hepatic steatosis and 21 pediatric cases without hepatic steatosis. All specimens were stained by Beclin1 and LC3A antibodies. According to final diagnosis obtained from Pediatric Hepatology department, patients were divided into two groups: chronic liver disease (CLD) group that included 45 cases and inborn error of metabolism (IEM) group that included 36 cases.
resultshigher beclin1 expression was significantly correlated with higher stages of fibrosis and distorted liver architecture in CLD group, (P=0.043) for both. The control group showed higher positivity, percentage, as well as the median values of the H score of LC3A expression than did the CLD group or the IEM group (P=0.055, 0.001, and 0.008, respectively). Higher positivity of LC3A was significantly associated with higher stages of fibrosis and distorted liver architecture in the studied IEM group (P=0.021) for both.
conclusionsVarying intensity grades of LC3A and Beclin 1 immunohistochemical expression demonstrate the variation of autophagy at different phases of pediatric hepatic steatosis and varied disease etiology.
