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

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) has become a global health issue associated with obesity and diabetes. It is becoming a leading cause of end-stage liver diseases such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite its increasing prevalence, effective pharmacotherapies for MASH remain limited, underscoring the urgent need for novel interventions. Amlexanox, an inhibitor of noncanonical IκB kinases, has demonstrated potential in restoring insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis in obese mice and human patients, as shown in our earlier studies. Here, we aimed to assess the therapeutic potential of amlexanox in dyslipidemia-associated diseases, particularly MASH and HCC, and to elucidate the underlying mechanism. We employed GAN diet-fed
