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

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly possible to progress to cirrhosis, malignancy, and liver failure through fibrogenesis. The enormous potential of pathogenetic and therapeutic targets in NAFLD has been revealed. This study aimed to explore novel factors potentially indicating or mediating NAFLD progression. Multiple bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing datasets were used, in which landscapes of cell populations were clarified to characterize immune cell infiltration. Significantly high infiltration of macrophages (MPs) was discovered during NAFLD progression. Samples in bulk NASH datasets were regrouped by MP level. Highly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the Ctrl vs. NASH comparison, low MP vs. high MP comparison, and the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) clusters. Eight hub genes were identified as promising targets by protein-protein interaction analysis and validated in fibrosis progression, microRNA (miR)-protein interactions were predicted, and the hub genes were verified in a free fatty acid (FFA)-induced macrophage injury model. The results showed that Gasdermin D (
