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

backgroundThe global incidence of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is increasing annually, which has become a major public-health concern. MAFLD is typically associated with obesity, hyperlipemia, or metabolic syndrome. Dietary induction is one of the most common methods for preparing animal models of MAFLD. However, there are phenotypic differences between methionine-choline-deficient diet (MCDD) and high fat diet (HFD) models.

methodsTo explore the differences in hepatic fatty acid metabolism between MCDD and HFD induced MAFLD, we analyzed serum and liver tissue from the two MAFLD models.

resultsWe found that liver fat accumulation and liver function damage were common pathological features in both MAFLD models. Furthermore, in the MCDD model, the expression of hepatic fatty acid transport proteins increased, while the expression of hepatic fatty acid efflux proteins and mRNA decreased, along with a decrease in blood lipid levels. In the HFD model, the expression of hepatic fatty acid uptake proteins, efflux proteins and efflux mRNA increased, along with an increase in blood lipid levels.

conclusionImpaired fatty acid oxidation and increased hepatic fatty acid uptake play key roles in the pathogenesis of the two MAFLD models. The inverse changes in de novo lipogenesis and fatty acid efflux may represent an important pathological mechanism that leads to the phenotypic differences between the MCDD and HFD models.
