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

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) plays a pivotal role in regulating lipid metabolism and hepatic PPARγ transactivation contributes to fatty liver development. Fatty acids (FAs) are well-known endogenous ligands for PPARγ. Palmitate, a 16-C saturated FA (SFA) and the most abundant SFA in human circulation, is a strong inducer of hepatic lipotoxicity, a central pathogenic factor for various fatty liver diseases. In this study, using both alpha mouse liver 12 (AML12) and primary mouse hepatocytes, we investigated the effects of palmitate on hepatic PPARγ transactivation and underlying mechanisms, as well as the role of PPARγ transactivation in palmitate-induced hepatic lipotoxicity, all of which remain ambiguous currently. Our data revealed that palmitate exposure was concomitant with both PPARγ transactivation and upregulation of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), a methyltransferase catalyzing the degradation of nicotinamide, the predominant precursor for cellular NAD
