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

Lipid hormone imbalances involving glucocorticoids, thyroid hormones (THs), and sex hormones have widespread metabolic consequences, contributing to the global increase in obesity and insulin resistance. This review examines the complex role of disrupted lipid hormone pathways in the development of metabolic disorders, particularly metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Endocrine disorders such as hypercortisolism, hypothyroidism, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are closely linked to MASLD through shared metabolic pathways. Mechanisms include glucocorticoid-induced gluconeogenesis and lipolysis, impaired lipid clearance in hypothyroidism, and the hyperandrogenism-induced downregulation of hepatic low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors. PCOS-related factors-such as central obesity, adipocyte hypertrophy, low adiponectin levels, and genetic predisposition-further promote hepatic steatosis. Thyroid dysfunction may also impair the hepatic deiodination of T4, contributing to lipid accumulation and inflammation. Given the overlapping pathophysiology among endocrine, hepatic, and reproductive disorders, multidisciplinary collaboration is essential to optimize diagnosis, treatment, and long-term cardiometabolic outcomes.
