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

To understand the mechanisms underlying the remarkable resistance of Göttingen minipigs to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a multilevel transcriptomic analysis comparing their liver with those of humans, mice, and MASLD susceptible pig breeds was performed. This analysis revealed 692 genes uniquely differentially expressed in livers of Göttingen minipigs, linked to multiple metabolic and signaling pathways (e.g., AMPK signaling). Among these, 11 transcription factors (TFs), 3 hepatokines (DPP4, ITIH1, and ITIH3), and 6 additional secreted proteins (including PCSK9 and APOM) exhibited particularly strong differential expression and emerged as candidate mediators of MASLD resistance. This finding was further supported by weighted gene coexpression network analysis, which identified a core regulatory network driven by the TFs HMBOX1 and PATZ1, presumably regulating 41% of its differentially expressed genes. Collectively, these results suggest that a distinct transcriptional program involving HMBOX1/PATZ1 and their downstream targets, including secreted factors, contributes to the MASLD-resistant phenotype of Göttingen minipigs and may provide promising targets for the prevention and treatment of fatty liver disease.
