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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent chronic liver condition that is strongly linked to gut microbiota imbalance and chronic inflammation. This study aims to explore the preventive effects of dihydromyricetin (DHM) on NAFLD by modulating the intestinal flora and the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. Fifty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to five groups: a normal control group, a model group, and three DHM treatment groups receiving low (500 mg/kg), medium (750 mg/kg), and high doses (1,000 mg/kg). NAFLD was induced using a high-fat diet, and DHM was administered for 8 weeks. ELISA measured serum levels of LPS, IL-1β, and TNF-α, while Western Blot assessed liver expression of TLR4 and NF-κB p65. Changes in intestinal flora composition were analyzed using high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing. The results showed that DHM treatment significantly reduced serum levels of LPS, IL-1β, and TNF-α, decreasing the liver expression of TLR4 and NF-κB p65. Intestinal flora analysis indicated a notable increase in beneficial bacteria, especially in the medium and high-dose groups. DHM treatment also significantly improved liver pathology, reducing fat deposition and inflammatory cell infiltration. In conclusion, DHM effectively prevents the progression of NAFLD by improving gut microbiota balance and suppressing inflammatory signaling pathways.
