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

Brain-type fatty acid-binding protein (B-FABP) was localized in Kupffer cells of liver of postnatal day 10 (P10) and older mice in immunolight and electron microscopy as well as by in situ hybridization histochemistry. The immunoreaction products were localized in the cytoplasmic matrix but not within the nucleus. After peritoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the immunoreaction for B-FABP decreased markedly in Kupffer cells at 1 h postinjection and thereafter gradually recovered to the preinjection level by 24 h postinjection, although no decrease in the mRNA expression was detected in Northern blotting throughout the course after the injection. The specific localization of B-FABP, but not the other FABPs, in Kupffer cells, and its rapid decrease after LPS injection suggest the intimate involvement of B-FABP in Kupffer cells in the inflammatory reaction, probably through mediation of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are strong binders of B-FABP.
