Pipeline of New Drug Treatment for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease/Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease.
Review in Journal of clinical and translational hepatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Given the global prevalence and rising incidence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), the absence of licensed medications is striking. A deeper understanding of the heterogeneous nature of MASLD has recently contributed to the discovery of novel groups of agents and the potential repurposing of currently available medications. MASLD therapies center on four major pathways. Considering the close relationship between MASLD and type 2 diabetes, the first approach involves antidiabetic medications, including incretins, thiazolidinedione insulin sensitizers, and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors. The second approach targets hepatic lipid accumulation and the resultant metabolic stress. Agents in this group include peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists (e.g., pioglitazone, elafibranor, saroglitazar), bile acid-farnesoid X receptor axis regulators (obeticholic acid), de novo lipogenesis inhibitors (aramchol, NDI-010976), and fibroblast growth factor 21/19 analogs. The third approach focuses on targeting oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis. Agents in this group include antioxidants (vitamin E), tumor necrosis factor α pathway regulators (emricasan, pentoxifylline, ZSP1601), and immune modulators (cenicriviroc, belapectin). The final group targets the gut (IMM-124e, solithromycin). Combination therapies targeting different pathogenetic pathways may provide an alternative to MASLD treatment with higher efficacy and fewer side effects. This review aimed to provide an update on these medications.
