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

Aim: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the primary cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. Although etiology for DN is complex and still needs to be fully understood, lipid metabolism disorder is found to play a role in it. Previously, we found Yishen Huashi (YSHS) granule could inhibit diabetic damage and reduce level of microalbuminuria (mALB) in DN animals. To explore its role and mechanism in lipid metabolism under DN settings, this study was designed. Materials and methods: DN rats were induced by streptozotocin (STZ), HepG Results: YSHS administration significantly reduced levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), while increased level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C); meanwhile, histological changes and steatosis of the liver was ameliorated, integrity of the intestinal barrier was enhanced, and dysbacteriosis within intestinal lumen was ameliorated. Mechanism study found that YSHS modulated mitophagy within hepatocytes and inhibited mTOR/AMPK/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Conclusion: In conclusion, we found in the present study that YSHS administration could ameliorate lipid metabolism disorder in DN animals, and its modulation on intestinal-liver axis played a significant role in it.
