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

Olanzapine is associated with a high risk of hepatic steatosis as a commonly used atypical antipsychotic. In this study, we observed differential susceptibility to olanzapine-induced fatty liver disease in both rats and patients. Notably, patients with olanzapine-induced liver damage exhibited an altered gut microbiota composition, with Akkermansia muciniphila showing the most pronounced alteration. To explore its therapeutic potential, we administered A. muciniphila to olanzapine-treated rats, which significantly reduced hepatic lipid accumulation and liver injury. Gut microbiome analysis revealed significant alterations in microbial diversity and composition following A. muciniphila treatment. Transcriptomic analysis further identified differentially expressed genes in the liver, highlighting the involvement of IGFBP2 and APOA1 in the protective effects of A. muciniphila . Functional validation demonstrated that overexpression of IGFBP2 and APOA1 alleviated olanzapine-induced hepatic steatosis in both cellular and animal models. These findings suggest that A. muciniphila exerts hepatoprotective effects via the gut microbiota-IGFBP2/APOA1-liver axis, offering a potential microbiota-targeted strategy to mitigate olanzapine-induced metabolic dysfunction.
