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

Gallic acid (GA), a natural organic phenolic compound, is an abundant plant food bioactive substance present in many medicinal herbs. GA has anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities on multiple metabolic disorders. The present study was carried out to uncover the alleviating effects of GA on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and the underlying mechanisms of its action. In this study, a mouse model of MASH induced by high-fat and high-carbohydrate diet was used to test the impact of GA on metabolic disorders. We found that GA administration attenuated obesity and fatty liver, relieved insulin resistance, and mitigated hepatic steatosis, inflammation and liver injury. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) of mouse liver tissues identified 154 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among the NCD, HFHC, and GA groups. Bioinformatic analysis of these DEGs revealed significant enrichment in lipid metabolism function and the PPARγ signaling pathway, which were further validated. Overexpression of PPARγ significantly reduced the therapeutic effect of GA both
