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

Background & Aims: Hepatic steatosis, characterized by lipid accumulation in hepatocytes, is a key diagnostic feature in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This study aimed to clarify the involvement of phospholipid metabolic pathways in the pathogenesis of HCV-induced steatosis. Methods: The expression and distribution of lipid species in the livers of human liver chimeric mice were analyzed using imaging mass spectrometry. Triglyceride accumulation and lipid droplet formation were studied in phospholipase A2 group 4C ( Results: Imaging mass spectrometry of the infected mouse model revealed increased lysophosphatidylcholine levels and decreased phosphatidylcholine levels in HCV-positive regions of the liver. Among the transcripts associated with phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis, upregulation of Conclusions: HCV infection markedly increases Impact and implications: The involvement of phospholipid metabolism pathways in the pathogenesis of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver diseases remains unclear. We found that
