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

Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease globally; however, it currently lacks sensitive and specific non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers, as well as safe and effective targeted therapies. In this study, we investigate the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of Nucleoporin 85 (NUP85) and successfully develop an innovative targeted delivery system. Our findings reveal that serum NUP85 levels are significantly elevated in MASLD patients and positively correlate with disease severity. Serum NUP85 demonstrates exceptional diagnostic performance in differentiating Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) from cirrhosis, significantly outperforming traditional liver function indicators. Additionally, we have developed a siNUP85 delivery system utilizing red blood cell-derived extracellular vesicles (RBC-EVs). The RBC-EVs@siNUP85 exhibits excellent biocompatibility and liver-targeting capability, facilitating the efficient delivery of siNUP85 to hepatocytes. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments confirm that RBC-EVs@siNUP85 can effectively silence NUP85 expression in the liver, significantly alleviating hepatic steatosis, inflammatory responses, and oxidative stress, while restoring liver function without notable toxic side effects. Mechanistic studies indicate that NUP85 is significantly upregulated in lipotoxic hepatocytes in high-fat diet (HFD) or methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet mice. NUP85 promotes lipid accumulation in lipotoxic hepatocytes by modulating the solute carrier family 27 member 1 (SLC27A1)/PPAR-γ signaling pathway, thereby enhancing the expression of lipid synthesis-related genes and inflammatory factors.
