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

Objective: Chronic sleep deprivation (CSD) is a major public health issue that causes metabolic dysfunction by disrupting redox homeostasis and triggering hepatic inflammation. Given the strong anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties of alpha lipoic acid (ALA), this study aims to determine whether exogenous ALA supplementation would provide hepatoprotection and therefore, maintain the metabolic activity following CSD. Methods: Adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to three groups ( Results: ALA significantly improves metabolic function as effectively attenuates serum concentrations of AST, ALT, and ALP, and stabilize hepatic Fe Conclusion: These findings clearly demonstrate that ALA confers manifold hepatoprotective effects against CSD-induced dysfunction by significantly restoring redox balance, decreasing hepatic inflammation, suppressing apoptotic and ferroptotic signaling, thereby successfully preserving metabolic activity.
