Melatonin alleviates cadmium-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in ducks by alleviating autophagic flow arrest via PPAR-α and reducing oxidative stress.
Article in Poultry science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
Cadmium (Cd) is an important environmental pollutant that causes liver damage and induces nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is a fat accumulation disease and has significant effects on the body. Melatonin (Mel) is an endogenous protective molecule with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiobesity, and antiaging effects. However, whether Mel can alleviate Cd-induced NAFLD and its mechanism remains unclear. First, in vivo, we found that Mel maintained mitochondrial structure and function, inhibited oxidative stress, and reduced Cd-induced liver injury. In addition, Mel alleviated lipid accumulation in the liver induced by Cd. In this process, Mel inhibits fatty acid production and promotes fatty acid oxidation. Interestingly, Mel regulated PPAR-α expression and alleviated Cd-induced autophagy blockade. In vitro model, the oil Red O staining, and WB results showed that Mel alleviated Cd-induced lipid accumulation. In addition, RAPA was used to activate autophagy to alleviate Cd-induced lipid accumulation, and TG was used to block autophagy flux to aggravate Cd-induced autophagy accumulation. After knocking down PPAR-α, the autophagosome fusion with lysosomes, and autophagic flux was inhibited and increased Cd-induced lipid accumulation. Mel alleviates mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress, and attenuates Cd-induced NAFLD by restoring the expression of PPAR-α and restoring autophagy flux.
