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

backgroundChronic ethanol consumption is associated with hepatic lipid peroxidation and the deposition or retention of aldehyde-adducted proteins postulated to be involved in alcohol-induced liver injury. The purpose of this study was to characterize hepatocellular formation of aldehyde-protein adducts during early stages of alcohol-induced liver injury.

methodsFemale Sprague Dawley(R) rats were subjected to the intragastric administration of a low-carbohydrate/high-fat total enteral nutrition diet or a total enteral nutrition diet containing ethanol for a period of 36 days. Indexes of hepatic responses to ethanol were evaluated in terms of changes in plasma alanine aminotransferase activity, hepatic histopathologic analysis, and induction of cytochrome P-4502E1 (CYP2E1). Immunohistochemical methods were used to detect hepatic proteins modified with malondialdehyde (MDA) or 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) for subsequent quantitative image analysis.

resultsAfter 36 days of treatment, rats receiving the alcohol-containing diet displayed hepatic histopathologies characterized by marked micro- and macrosteatosis associated with only minor inflammation and necrosis. Alcohol administration resulted in a 3-fold elevation of plasma alanine aminotransferase activity and 3-fold increases (p < 0.01) in hepatic CYP2E1 apoprotein and activity. Quantitative immunohistochemical analysis revealed significant (p < 0.01) 5-fold increases in MDA- and 4-HNE modified proteins in liver sections prepared from rats treated with alcohol. The MDA- or 4-HNE modified proteins were contained in hepatocytes displaying intact morphology and were colocalized primarily with microvesicular deposits of lipid. Aldehyde-modified proteins were not prevalent in parenchymal or nonparenchymal cells associated with foci of necrosis or inflammation.

conclusionsThese results suggest that alcohol-induced lipid peroxidation is an early event during alcohol-mediated liver injury and may be a sensitizing event resulting in the production of bioactive aldehydes that have the potential to initiate or propagate ensuing proinflammatory or profibrogenic cellular events.
