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

Up to a third of the global population is afflicted by metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease with excessive triglyceride accumulation in the liver. Prolonged fasting rapidly causes hepatic steatosis via excessive influx of free fatty acids from adipose tissue. However, it is unclear whether skeletal muscle is involved in the etiology of hepatic steatosis during starvation. Here, we demonstrate a critical connection between the liver and skeletal muscle via FoxO transcription factors. During prolonged fasting, hepatic steatosis was exacerbated in skeletal muscle-specific FoxO-deficient mice (mFoxO1,3,4
