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
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a serious public health problem worldwide. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Yunnan medicine Jiangzhi ointment (YMJO) can relieve the progression of NAFLD and to elucidate the specific mechanism involved. A NAFLD model was established in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced SD rats and free fatty acid (FFA)-induced BRL 3A cells. The expression of autophagy-related proteins and ferroptosis-related proteins was detected using Western blotting. The histopathological features of the livers of NAFLD rats were evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Oil Red O staining. The results revealed that in a successfully established HFD-induced NAFLD rat model, YMJO alleviated the progression of NAFLD, promoted autophagy, and inhibited ferroptosis. This regulatory mechanism is related to the activation of the AMPK pathway. Further study of the molecular mechanism via cell experiments revealed that YMJO activated FFA-induced liver cell autophagy through the AMPK signaling pathway and inhibited ferroptosis, thus alleviating the development of NAFLD. This study revealed that YMJO promotes phosphorylation by activating the AMPK pathway, enhances autophagy, ameliorates ferroptosis induced by high fat, and alleviates the occurrence and development of NAFLD.
