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

Anorexia nervosa (AN) induces organ dysfunction caused by malnutrition, including liver damage leading to a rise in transaminases due to hepatocyte damage. The underlying pathophysiology of starvation-induced liver damage is poorly understood. We investigate the effect of a 25% body weight reduction on murine livers in a mouse model and examine possible underlying mechanisms of starvation-induced liver damage. Female mice received a restricted amount of food with access to running wheels until a 25% weight reduction was achieved. This weight reduction was maintained for two weeks to mimic chronic starvation. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were measured spectrophotometrically. Liver fat content was analyzed using an Oil Red O stain, and liver glycogen was determined using a Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stain. Immunohistochemical stains were used to investigate macrophages, proliferation, apoptosis, and autophagy. Starvation led to an elevation of AST and ALT values, a decreased amount of liver fat, and reduced glycogen deposits. The density of F4/80
