Leptin-dependent fat accumulation triggers autophagy in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis model.

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.
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: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a metabolic syndrome characterized by increased fat storage in hepatocytes. In the hepatocytes, autophagy protects against cytotoxic stress and harmful cellular conditions. In the hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), autophagy exerts pro-fibrotic properties and promotes the release of pro-inflammatory metabolites. We investigated the modulation of autophagy as a therapeutic approach for MASLD. Methods: Murine liver tissue and human hepatic cells were analyzed by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot. Real time fluorescence was performed to monitor the autophagy maturation process. Accumulation of fat was detected by Oil Red O staining. Collagen fibers were detected by picrosirius staining under polarized light. Results: The loss of leptin in obese mice affected by metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) promoted the over-expression of Conclusions: Leptin loss contributes to the autophagy process in obese mice.
