Fetuin-b Mediates Lipid Overload-Induced Hepatic Lipid Accumulation in Large Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys crocea).
Article in FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fetuin-b is a nutritionally regulated hepatokine that critically influences hepatic lipid content. However, the precise mechanism by which it regulates lipid content remains elusive. Here, our experiments found that lipid overload conditions can upregulate the expression of large yellow croaker fetuin-b through activating the transcription factor C/EBPα. Moreover, under lipid overload conditions, overexpression of fetuin-b in vitro elevated hepatic triglyceride (TG) content, whereas knockdown of fetuin-b in vivo reduced TG content in hepatocytes. Mechanistically, fetuin-b elevated hepatic TG content by upregulating genes involved in lipogenesis, lipid intake, and lipid droplets (LDs) synthesis, while repressing those in fatty acid oxidation. Concurrently, fetuin-b might promote LDs expansion by inhibiting the ubiquitination of Plin2. Collectively, our findings reveal that nutritional lipid overload upregulates fetuin-b to drive hepatic lipid accumulation, providing a potential therapeutic target for diet-induced hepatic steatosis.
