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

Purpose: The objective of this study was to develop and produce a novel fusion protein that combines GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and FGF21 (fibroblast growth factor 21), with the aim of achieving synergistic pharmacological effects through the targeting of dual pathways, followed by validation of these effects in a non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) model. Methods: We utilized C57Bl/6J mice to establish a high-fat diet (HFD)/CCl Results: The animal pharmacological experiment of HSP763-01 demonstrated a significant reduction in body weight without apparent appetite suppression. Analysis of blood biochemical indicators revealed a marked decrease in triglycerides (TG), serum total cholesterol (TCHO or TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and blood sugar levels with a significant dose-dependent effect. Additionally, Liver tissue analysis indicated notable alleviation of liver fatty degeneration and ballooning degeneration, as well as partial relief of lobular inflammation with a significant dose-dependent effect. However, due to the severe liver fibrosis induced by tetrachloromethane (CCl Conclusion: HSP763-01 exhibited a clear dual target of GLP-1 and FGF21, which has been demonstrated by a robust response to the HFD/CCl
