Reduced Intra- and Extracellular Circulating Postprandial Lysosomal Acid Lipase Activity in Patients with MASLD.
Article in Metabolites, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesLow fasting blood lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) activity is associated with the pathogenesis of metabolic hepatic steatosis. We measured LAL activity in blood and plasma before and after an oral fat tolerance test (OFTT) in patients with metabolic-dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
methodsTwenty-six controls and seventeen patients with MASLD but without diabetes were genotyped for the patatin-like phospholipase 3 (PNPLA3) rs738409 variant by RT-PCR and subjected to an OFTT, measuring LAL activity in blood and plasma with a fluorimetric method.
resultsLAL activity in blood both under fasting and 4 h after OFTT (0.846 ± 0.309 nmol/spot/h vs. 1.180 ± 0.503 nmol/spot/h
conclusionsPatients with MASLD have reduced LAL activity in blood and plasma both before and 4 h after a meal. In patients with MASLD, the physiological negative correlation between circulating LAL levels and postprandial hypertriglyceridemia is lost.
