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

The adverse metabolic impacts of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) have been elucidated are mediated by isoleucine and valine. Dietary restriction of isoleucine promotes metabolic health and increases lifespan. However, a high protein diet enriched in BCAA is presently the most useful therapeutic strategy for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), yet, its underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS), a specialized laying hen NAFLD model, can spontaneously develop fatty liver and hepatic steatosis under a high-energy and high-protein dietary background that the pathogenesis of FLHS is similar to human NAFLD. The mechanism underlying dietary BCAA control of NAFLD development in laying hens remains unclear. Herein, we demonstrate that dietary supplementation with 67 % High BCAA has unique mitigative impacts on NAFLD in laying hens. A High BCAA diet alleviates NAFLD, by inhibiting the tryptophan-ILA-AHR axis and MAPK9-mediated de novo lipogenesis (DNL), promoting ketogenesis and energy metabolism, and activating PPAR-RXR and pexophagy to promote fatty acid β-oxidation. Furthermore, we uncover that High BCAA strongly activates ubiquitin-proteasome autophagy via downregulating UFMylation to trigger MAPK9-mediated DNL, fatty acid elongation and lipid droplet formation-related proteins ubiquitination degradation, activating PPAR-RXR and pexophagy mediated fatty acid β-oxidation and lipolysis. Together, our data highlight moderating intake of high BCAA by inhibiting the AHR/MAPK9 are promising new strategies in NAFLD and FLHS treatment.
