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

Flutamide (FL), a non-steroidal drug used for its antiandrogenic, anticancer, and disrupting endocrine properties, induces mitochondrial toxicity and drug metabolism enzymes and promotes hepatocarcinogenesis. The inhibition of mitophagy, leading to the accumulation of damaged mitochondria, is implicated in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this study, we investigated the effects of FL in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced non-obese steatosis rats, categorized into four groups: basal diet (BD), BD + FL, HFD, and HFD + FL. The FL exacerbated HFD-induced steatosis and marginally increased preneoplastic lesions. To analyze hepatic preneoplastic lesions, we divided them into clusters based on the expression ratios of the mitophagy regulators LC3 and AMBRA1. The expression rates of LC3 and AMBRA1 in these precancerous lesions were classified into three clusters using
