Understanding the Role of Exercise and Probiotic Interventions on Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Alleviation in Zebrafish: Dialogue Between the Gut and Liver.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most prevalent chronic liver illness, is characterized by hepatic steatosis. Exercise and probiotics can regulate the gut microbiota to treat NAFLD; however, their combined effects and the mechanisms of gut-liver communication remain unclear. Inconsistent results on probiotic efficacy further warrant investigation. In this study, zebrafish fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for six weeks were subjected to swimming exercise (HFDE), probiotic intervention (HFDP), or a combination of both (HFDEP) for 10 weeks to explore their effects on NAFLD and the corresponding mechanism. The results showed that NAFLD alleviation followed the order HFDEP > HFDE > HFDP. HFDEP and HFDE treatments effectively reduced Body Mass Index (BMI), relative liver weight, liver vacuolation density, lipid droplets in liver sections, triglyceride, free fatty acid, glucose, and pyruvic acid. In contrast, a single probiotic treatment had limited impact, suggesting a complementary role in NAFLD treatment. Glucose and fatty acid metabolism were central to the "gut-liver" axis. The reduced conversion of glucose to pyruvic acid, decreased fatty acid synthesis and esterification, and accelerated fatty acid transformation to CO
