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

Solute carrier (SLC) family transporters are crucial transmembrane proteins responsible for transporting various molecules, including amino acids, electrolytes, fatty acids, and nucleotides. To date, more than fifty SLC transporter subfamilies have been identified, many of which are linked to the progression of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. These conditions are often caused by factors such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, which are major contributors to the global liver disease burden. The activity of SLC members regulates the transport of substrates across biological membranes, playing key roles in lipid synthesis and metabolism, mitochondrial function, and ferroptosis. These processes, in turn, influence the function of hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells, and macrophages, thereby contributing to the development of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. Additionally, some SLC transporters are involved in drug transport, acting as critical regulators of drug-induced hepatic steatosis. Beyond substrate transport, certain SLC members also exhibit additional functions. Given the pivotal role of the SLC family in hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, this review aimed to summarize the molecular mechanisms through which SLC transporters influence these conditions.
