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

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the advanced stage of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is distinguished by the accumulation of fat in the liver, damage to liver cells, and inflammation. Chaihu Shugan powder (CSP), a renowned traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) blend extensively utilized in China to address liver disease, has demonstrated its efficacy in reducing lipid buildup and effectively combating inflammation. Hence, the primary objective of this research is to examine the impacts and possible mechanisms of CSP on NASH through assessments of liver histopathology, lipidomic analysis, and gene expression. To induce a mouse model of NASH, we employed a diet which deficient in methionine and choline, known as methionine-choline deficient (MCD) diet. Initially, we examined the impact of administering CSP to NASH mice by assessing the levels of serum and liver indicators. We found that CSP was able to reduce lipid buildup and inflammation in mice. In addition, a total of 1009 genes exhibited enrichment in both the autophagy and ferroptosis pathways. The liver protein levels of Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase-mammalian target of rapamycin (AMPK-mTOR)-mediated autophagy and ferroptosis markers, such as p-AMPK
