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

backgroundIschemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a serious complication of liver surgery, especially for extended hepatectomy and liver transplantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of combined ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and salvianolic acid-B (Sal-B) pretreatment against IRI-induced hepatocellular injury.

methodsSixty male Wistar rats weighing around 200 g were randomized into five groups (n=12): sham group: only anesthesia and laparotomy; IR group: 90 min sustained ischemia by blocking the left ortal vessels; IPC group: 10 min ischemia and 10 min reperfusion prior to the sustained ischemia; Sal-B group: 10 mg/kg injection of Sal-B intravenously 10 min prior to the sustained ischemia; IPC+Sal-B group: same IPC procedure as in IPC group, but proceeded by intravenous administration of Sal-B 10 min prior to sustained ischemia. After 5 h of reperfusion, serum levels of ALT and AST were measured; the amount of malondialdehyde (MDA) and adenine nucleotides in liver tissue was determined; the expression of Bcl-2 and caspase-3 was detected by immunofluorescent and western blotting techniques; the severity of apoptosis and pathological alterations was evaluated by TUNEL and H&E staining, respectively.

resultsThe serum aminotransferases, hepatic MDA concentration, and apoptotic index in groups IPC, Sal-B, and IPC+Sal-B were significantly lower than those in the IR group (P<0.001), while the IPC+Sal-B group had the lowest values among these groups (P<0.05). Compared with the IR group, groups IPC and Sal-B not only had statistically higher ATP levels and energy charge (EC) values (P<0.01), but also had upregulated Bcl-2 expression and downregulated cleaved caspase-3 expression in liver tissue. All these effects were further augmented in the IPC+Sal-B group. Liver histopathological findings were consistent with these results.

conclusionsBased on these results, the combined IPC and Sal-B pretreatment had a synergistically protective effect on liver tissue against IRI, which might be due to decreased post-ischemic oxidative stress, improved energy metabolism, and reduced hepatocellular apoptosis.
