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

purpose of reviewTo critically summarize evidence on the potential role of osteokines in the pathogenesis and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). RECENT

findingsThere are emerging data supporting that certain osteokines, which are specific bone-derived proteins, may beneficially or adversely affect hepatic metabolism, and their alterations in the setting of osteoporosis or other bone metabolic diseases may possibly contribute to the development and progression of NAFLD. There is evidence showing a potential bidirectional association between NAFLD and bone metabolism, which may imply the existence of a liver-bone axis. In this regard, osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP4) and BMP6 appear to have a positive impact on the liver, thus possibly alleviating NAFLD, whereas osteopontin, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa Β ligand (RANKL), sclerostin, periostin, BMP8B, and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) appear to have a negative impact on the liver, thus possibly exacerbating NAFLD. The potential implication of osteokines in NAFLD warrants further animal and clinical research in the field that may possibly result in novel therapeutic targets for NAFLD in the future.
