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

Sodium butyrate (NaB), a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor derived from dietary sources, demonstrates its potential in improving liver fibrosis in mice. This study explored NaB's impact on liver fibrosis through histone crotonylation. In vitro, NaB significantly inhibited the growth of TGF-β-stimulated LX2 hepatic stellate cells and reduced the expression of fibrotic markers ACTA2, the encoding gene of αSMA, and COL1A1 proportionally to the dosage. In vivo, NaB treatment of CCl
