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

backgroundUbiquitin-specific peptidase 24 (USP24), a deubiquitinating enzyme, regulates protein stability by removing ubiquitin. This study investigates the role of UPS24 in lipid metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis. It also explores the effect of targeting USP24 on metabolic disorders, focusing on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and liver diseases.

methodsThis study utilized CRISPR/Cas9 to create functional knockout mice (USP24

resultsKnockout or inhibition of USP24 reduced body weight, lipid accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis in HFD-fed mice. The expression of genes related to lipogenesis, inflammation, and fibrosis was downregulated in USP24
