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

Chronic cholestasis is associated with retention of bile acids and profound cytoskeletal alterations in hepatocytes including Mallory body (MB) formation. The mechanisms responsible for MB formation in cholestatic liver diseases are unclear. The aim of our study was to determine the relevance of cholestasis and bile acids for MB formation. For this purpose mice received a 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine (DDC)-supplemented diet for 2.5 months to induce MB formation. After recovery from DDC intoxication for 4 weeks followed by disappearance of MBs, these drug-primed mice were subjected to DDC refeeding, common bile duct ligation (CBDL), and feeding of a cholic acid (CA)-supplemented diet for 7 days, respectively. Cytokeratin (CK) 8 and CK 18 expression was studied by competitive reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. Cytoskeletal alterations of hepatocytes and MB formation were monitored by immunofluorescence microscopy and immunohistochemistry using CK-, ubiquitin-, and MB-specific antibodies. Like DDC refeeding, both CBDL and CA feeding of drug-primed mice significantly increased CK 8 and CK 18 mRNA and protein levels (with excess of CK 8) and resulted in ubiquitination and abnormal phosphorylation of CKs. Furthermore, CBDL and CA feeding resulted in rapid neoformation of MBs in drug-primed mice. It is concluded that MB formation in cholestatic liver diseases may be triggered by the action of potentially toxic bile acids.
