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 fatty liver disease (MAFLD), also known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), has emerged as one of the most common chronic liver diseases globally, with a tendency to progress gradually. With persistent disease progression, it may subsequently manifest as complications, including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis, and liver cancer, and has been clinically established as a primary causative factor for liver failure and clinical scenarios necessitating liver transplantation. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is the central regulatory hub governing cellular energy homeostasis. It plays a central regulatory role in improving lipid metabolic disorders and represents a key molecular nexus for the management of MAFLD. Currently, the pathogenesis of MAFLD remains unclear, and treatment options are still limited, posing a significant public health challenge. Natural active botanical metabolites, which are important sources of novel therapeutic drugs, are widely available in nature and characterized by strong practicability and low cost. Growing evidence suggests that natural active botanical metabolites have definite therapeutic effects on MAFLD and hold broad application prospects. This study aims to systematically review
