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

Nuclear receptors (NRs) regulate cellular processes and serve as key targets in treating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and steatohepatitis (MASH). Their ability to interact and influence each other's signaling pathways introduces a complex yet underexplored dimension in the pharmacotherapy of MASLD and MASH. This review delineates the emerging NRs in this field-estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα), glucocorticoid receptor (GR), estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1), and vitamin D receptor (VDR)-and their interplay with established NRs, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARα, PPARβ/δ, PPARγ), farnesoid X receptor (FXR), liver X receptors (LXR), hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α), and thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRβ). We discuss their collective impact on hepatic lipid metabolism, inflammation, fibrosis, and glucose homeostasis. We explore recent findings on dual NR crosstalk, via direct and indirect mechanisms, and discuss the potential of targeting receptor pathways using selective agonists, inverse agonists, antagonists, or specific modulators to combat MASLD and MASH. Elucidating NR interactions opens up new avenues for targeted therapies, emphasizing the critical need for further research in the evolving field of hepatology.
