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 and alcohol exposure drive steatotic liver disease, yet how ethanol intersects with metabolic steatohepatitis remains incompletely defined. Our iterative model examined how ethanol ingestion alters high-fat, -fructose, and -cholesterol (FFC)-driven liver injury, identifying metabolic dysfunction and alcohol-associated liver disease (MetALD)-relevant features. A pilot study in male and female C57BL/6J mice compared chow diet (CD), FFC, CD + ethanol (E), and FFC + E on high-glucose/fructose (sugar) water (SW) at 6, 16, and 24 wk. A redesigned study lowered glucose/fructose exposure, modified ethanol acclimation, and tested five male cohorts: CD, CD + SW, FFC + SW, CD + SW + E, FFC + SW + E, at 16 and 24 wk. In the pilot study, FFC-dominant hepatomegaly, aminotransferase elevation, steatosis, chemokine induction, and fibrosis, without additive ethanol effects, were observed. In the redesigned model, FFC drove weight gain, hepatomegaly, steatosis, aminotransferase elevation, and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (
