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

Iron overload is a common complication in various chronic liver diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Lipid and bile acid metabolism disorders are regarded as crucial hallmarks of NAFLD. However, effects of iron accumulation on lipid and bile acid metabolism are not well understood. Ferulic acid (FA) can chelate iron and regulate lipid and bile acid metabolism, but its potential to alleviate lipid and bile acid metabolism disorders caused by iron overload remains unclear. Here, in vitro experiments, iron overload induced oxidative stress, apoptosis, genomic instability, and lipid deposition in AML12 cells. FA reduced lipid and bile acid synthesis while increasing fatty acid β-oxidation and bile acid export, as indicated by increased mRNA expression of
