Sleeve Gastrectomy Improves High-Fat Diet-Associated Hepatic Steatosis Independent of the Glucagon-like-Petpide-1 Receptor in Rats.

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.
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
backgroundThe gastrointestinal hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is increased after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Rat and clinical studies support, while mouse studies refute, a role for GLP-1R signaling after SG. Therefore, we developed a global GLP-1R knockout (KO) rat to test the hypothesis that a functional GLP-1R is critical to induce weight loss and metabolic disease improvement after SG. METHODOLOGY: A 4 bp deletion was created in exon 2 of the GLP-1R gene on a Lewis strain background to create a global GLP-1R KO rat. KO and Lewis rats were placed on a high-fat or low-fat diet and phenotyped followed by SG or Sham surgery and assessed for the effect of GLP-1R KO on surgical and metabolic efficacy.
resultsLoss of the GLP-1R created an obesity-prone rodent without changes in energy expenditure. Both male and female KO rats had significantly greater insulin concentrations after an oral glucose gavage, augmented by a high-fat diet, compared to Lewis rats despite similar glucose concentrations. GLP-1R KO caused hepatomegaly and increased triglyceride deposition compared to Lewis rats. We found no difference between SG GLP-1R KO and Lewis groups when considering efficacy on body weight, glucose tolerance, and a robustly preserved improvement in fatty liver disease.
conclusionsLoss of the GLP-1R in rats resulted in increased adiposity, insulin resistance, and severe steatosis. A functional GLP-1R is not critical to the metabolic efficacy of SG in Lewis rats, similar to mouse studies, but importantly including steatosis, supporting a GLP-1R-independent mechanism for the improvement in fatty liver disease after SG.
