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

Introduction: Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) threatens public health worldwide, and Methods: In this study, Results: DOP markedly alleviated hepatic lipid accumulation, restored liver function abnormalities and mitigated hepatic pathological damage. DOP reshaped the disturbed gut flora: it reduced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-enriched Gram-negative bacteria, elevated short-chain fatty acid-producing probiotics, modified intestinal metabolites, repaired the intestinal barrier and prevented intestinal LPS leakage. Both cellular and animal experiments demonstrated that DOP down-regulated TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB p65 levels, increased IκBα expression and suppressed downstream pro-inflammatory mediators. Discussion: Collectively, DOP confers protective effects against MAFLD through remodeling gut microbiota and intestinal metabolites, preserving intestinal-barrier integrity, and inhibiting LPS-provoked hepatic TLR4/NF-κB inflammatory activation.
