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

This study investigated the ameliorative effects of Yinchen lipid-lowering tea (YCLLT) on Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the specific mechanism involved was also studied. We modeled hepatocellular steatosis with HepG2 cells and intervened with different concentrations of YCLLT-containing serum. Lipid deposition was assessed by oil red O staining and AdipoR1 expression was analyzed by Western blot. The hepatocyte steatosis model was further treated with YCLLT-containing serum and/or silencing AdipoR1. Lipid deposition was observed by oil red O staining. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6, MDA, 8-OHdG, and ATP were analyzed by ELISA or the corresponding kits. The mitochondrial structure was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The expression of AdipoR1/AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway factors was analyzed by Western blot, and co-localization of SIRT1 and immunofluorescence. The results revealed that YCLLT attenuated lipid deposition, inhibited the levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6, reduced the levels of MDA and 8-OHdG, up-regulated the ATP content and mitochondrial membrane potential, and promoted the expression of AdipoR1, p-LKB1, p-AMPKα, SIRT1, and PGC-1a in a cellular model of NAFLD. Further, silencing of AdipoR1 inhibited the ameliorative effect of YCLLT in the NAFLD cell model. Altogether, Yinchen lipid-lowering tea attenuates lipid deposition in a fatty liver model by improving mitochondrial function via activating AdipoR1/AMPK/ SIRT1 signaling.
