ToF-SIMS Reveals Metformin-Driven Restoration of Hepatic Lipid and Amino Acid Profiles in a Type 2 Diabetes Rat Model.

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.
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
Diabetes mellitus profoundly disturbs hepatic metabolism by impairing lipid and amino acid homeostasis, yet spatially resolved molecular evidence of these alterations remains limited. This study employed Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) to visualise and quantify metabolic remodelling in rat liver under diabetic conditions and following metformin treatment. Liver cryosections from lean controls (LEAN), diabetic rats (P1), and metformin-treated diabetic rats (P2) were analysed in the negative ion mode, and all spectra were normalised to total ion counts. One-way ANOVA with false discovery rate (FDR) correction identified 43 lipid-related and 20 amino acid-related ions with significant group differences. Diabetic livers exhibited a marked depletion of phospholipid- and fatty acid-related ions (e.g.,
