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

Sestrin 2 (SESN2) is a conserved protein whose expression is upregulated under various cellular stresses including hepatic injury. In the injured liver, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) become activated and produce collagen, contributing to fibrosis; however, SESN2 overexpression has been shown to suppress collagen synthesis. Amino acids are known to influence SESN2 expression; however, their specific effects remain unclear. In the present study, it was investigated whether specific amino acids regulate SESN2 expression and the function of quiescent RI-T HSCs, which are responsible for collagen production, using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, western blotting, and cell proliferation assay. It was found that supplementation with asparagine (Asn) and proline (Pro) (AP), both non-essential amino acids, led to a complete reduction in
