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

objectivesTo explore therapeutic mechanism of

methodsNetwork pharmacology analysis was used to predict the active components of HGT against NAFLD and their potential targets, and the core targets were identified using the protein-protein interaction network, followed by GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses. A rat model of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced NAFLD was used to test the effects of saline, silymarin, and low-, moderate-, and high-dose HGT on serum levels of ALT, AST, LDL, LDH, TG and TC, liver histopathology, and protein and mRNA expressions of ACC1, FASN, AMPK and m-TOR. In free fatty acid (FFA)-induced HepG2 cells, the effects of blank and HGT-medicated sera, compound C (an AMPK inhibitor), and MHY1485 (a mTOR agonist) were tested on cell viability, intracellular lipid deposition, TC and TG levels, and expressions of ACC1, FASN, AMPK and m-TOR.

resultsWe identified 130 active components in HGT, 267 common targets with NAFLD, and 53 core gene nodes, nearly half of which were involved in lipid metabolism. HGT treatment of NAFLD was closely associated with lipid and atherosclerosis signaling, insulin resistance signaling, and AMPK signaling. In rat models of NAFLD, HGT significantly alleviated liver injury and lipid accumulation, and suppressed mRNA and protein expressions of ACC1 and FASN. In FFA-induced HepG2 cells, HGT-medicated serum obviously reduced TG and TC levels and inhibited ACC1 and FASN mRNA and protein expressions. The results of

conclusionsHGT alleviates NAFLD in rats by activating the AMPK/m-TOR signaling pathway and reducing lipid synthesis.
