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

Intracellular deficiency of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) and elevated serum concentrations of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF) are hallmarks of toxin-induced liver injury. In these models, the administration of either exogenous AdoMet or antibody/soluble receptor for TNF attenuates the injury. We have demonstrated previously that the administration of exogenous AdoMet to AdoMet-deficient rats attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced liver injury and serum TNF concentrations. Here we report that AdoMet lowered the amount of TNF secreted by LPS-stimulated murine macrophage cells (RAW 264.7) in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibition of TNF release was correlated with changes in the steady-state TNF mRNA concentrations. Changes in TNF mRNA were not due to its altered stability and might have been due to an attenuation of the transcription rate of the TNF gene. The inhibition of TNF release in RAW cells was not mediated by GSH because treatment with AdoMet did not increase intracellular GSH. In addition, N-acetylcysteine, whereas it did increase GSH concentration, had no effect on LPS-stimulated TNF release in these cells. Exogenous AdoMet also attenuated LPS-induced serum TNF levels in normal rats sensitized with lead. Thus AdoMet administration might exert its hepatoprotective effects at least in part by its inhibitory effect on expression of the gene for TNF.
