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

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease characterized by the excessive accumulation of lipids as a pathological feature. Previous studies have demonstrated that Rosa roxburghii Tratt. fruit vinegar (RFV) played an important role in intervening in obesity and related complications by regulating the intestinal microbiota in high-fat diet mice. Methods: This study investigated the mechanisms by which RFV improves NAFLD from multiple perspectives. Potential targets were predicted by network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses. Intestinal microbial communities were detected and analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing technology. Liver metabolites were detected and analyzed using ultra high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole-exactive high field-X mass spectrometer (UHPLC-Q-Exactive HF-X) and Progenesis QI software. Hepatic protein expression levels were detected and quantified using Western blotting analysis and gray-value analysis, respectively. Results: The results indicated that, RFV could improve the diversity of intestinal microbiota in NAFLD mice, reduce the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes (F/B), and reverse the relative abundance of differential bacteria genera related to lipid accumulation and energy metabolism. The intestinal microbiota was correlated with the levels of lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in the serum and liver of mice with NAFLD. The primary bacteria genera involved were Conclusion: As a functional food, RFV has been proven to be effective in improving NAFLD. The underlying mechanisms involve the modulation of the intestinal microbiota and metabolites balance, and regulation on lipid disorders through AMPK signaling pathway.
