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

It has previously been shown that recombinant granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rG-CSF) accelerates and enhances hepatocyte proliferation in partially hepatectomized rats. In the present study, we examined the effect of rG-CSF administration on liver injury, regeneration, and survival outcome in an experimental rat model of fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) and encephalopathy induced by repeated injections of thioacetamide (TAA). FHF was induced in adult male Wistar rats by three consecutive intraperitoneal injections of TAA, at intervals of 24 hr. The animals were also injected with either saline or rG-CSF. Serum biochemical parameters and blood ammonia levels, liver histology, stage of hepatic encephalopathy, and survival were statistically significantly improved in TAA-intoxicated and rG-CSF-treated rats compared to TAA-intoxicated and saline-treated ones. Furthermore, rG-CSF not only ameliorated the histologically evident liver injury in a statistically significant manner but also enhanced the proliferative capacity of the hepatocytes. Our data confirm the beneficial effect of rG-CSF administration in this animal model of FHF and encephalopathy, supporting evidence for a possible use of rG-CSF as supportive therapy in the management of FHF.
