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

backgroundThe aim of the study was to develop a non-human primate model of metabolic dysfunction in Macaca fascicularis using chronic high-fat diet (HFD) to mimic clinical disease progression.

methodsThirty-five male macaques aged 10-15 years underwent an 18-month HFD intervention. Physiological parameters (BMI, BP, hematology), liver fat fraction (evaluated by ultrasound/MRI), cardiac function (assessed by echocardiography), and histopathology (using liver biopsy) were measured before and after the intervention. Serum proteomics with KEGG/STRING analyses identified molecular mechanisms.

resultsWithin 6 months, HFD induced dyslipidemia (elevated TG, TCHO, HDL-C, LDL-C). After 18 months, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) was confirmed by histopathology in 57.14% (16/28) of macaques, diabetes (elevated FPG/HbA1c) in 17.86% (5/28), and myocardial hypertrophy (elevated LVMass/LAD) in 46.43% (13/28). Proteomics identified Bile acid-CoA: amino acid N-acyltransferase (BAAT) as a MASH hallmark protein, the level of which was inversely correlated with the degree of fibrosis. For diabetes, citrate synthase (CS) and malate dehydrogenase 1 (MDH1) impaired glucose oxidation via the TCA cycle, while hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PD) disrupted gluconeogenesis. Myocardial hypertrophy was associated with the downregulation of SRC proto-oncogene, non-receptor tyrosine kinase (SRC), mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 (MAPK14), emerin (EMD), and integrin subunit beta 1 (ITGB1).

conclusionsAn 18-month HFD successfully established a translational M. fascicularis model replicating key metabolic disorders (MASH, diabetes, cardiac hypertrophy). BAAT, CS/MDH1/H6PD, and SRC/MAPK14/EMD/ITGB1 were identified as mechanistic biomarkers for these conditions.
