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

Mouse models of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are valuable tools for identifying novel molecular mechanisms that drive progression from MASLD to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). However, developing a robust MASLD/MASH mouse model with obesity and peripheral metabolic dysfunction remains a challenge. In this study, we have fed two different MASH-inducing diets to male mice with preexisting high-fat (HF) diet-induced obesity. Although an HF diet with 40% of kcal from fat (mostly corn-oil shortening), 2% cholesterol, and 22% fructose reduced adiposity in mice with preexisting obesity, a high-fat diet with 60% of kcal from fat (mostly lard), 2% cholesterol, and supplemented with 10% fructose in the drinking water (HFC + Fr diet) promoted body weight and fat mass gain. Of note, 24 wk of the HFC + Fr diet induced obesity, metabolic dysfunction, and liver steatosis and increased the expression of hepatic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (
