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

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic liver diseases and is closely associated with metabolic abnormalities. The causes of NAFLD are exceedingly complicated, and it is known that a variety of signaling pathways, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction play a role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Recent studies have shown that ubiquitination and deubiquitination are involved in the regulation of the NAFLD pathophysiology. Protein ubiquitination is a dynamic and diverse post-translational alteration that affects various cellular biological processes. Numerous disorders, including NAFLD, exhibit imbalances in ubiquitination and deubiquitination. To highlight the significance of this post-translational modification in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and to aid in the development of new therapeutic approaches for the disease, we will discuss the role of enzymes involved in the processes of ubiquitination and deubiquitination, specifically E3 ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinating enzymes that are important in the regulation of NAFLD.
