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

backgroundLiver ischemia and reperfusion (IR) injury is a phenomenon that leads to graft dysfunction after liver transplantation. Understanding the molecular mechanisms behind this process is crucial to developing strategies to prevent short- and long-term graft dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of the transcription factor interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) in a model of orthotopic rat liver transplantation.

methodsOrthotopic syngeneic LEW rat liver transplantation (OLT) was performed after 18 or 3 hours preservation in cold University of Wisconsin solution. Adenovirus-expressing IRF-1 (AdIRF-1) or control gene vector (Adnull) was delivered to the liver by donor intravenous pretreatment 4 days before graft harvesting. Uninfected grafts also served as controls. Recipients were humanely killed 1-24 hours post-transplantation.

resultsRats that underwent OLT with long-term preserved grafts (18 hours) displayed increased hepatic nuclear expression of IRF-1 protein at 1 and 3 hours. Rats pretreated with AdIRF-1 before transplantation had elevated alanine aminotransferase levels and increased expression of interferon (IFN)-beta, IFN-gamma, interleukin-12, and inducible nitric oxide synthase in the short-term period (3 hours) when compared with donor livers pretreated with Adnull. AdIRF-1 pretreated donor livers also exhibited increased susceptibility to early apoptosis in the transplanted grafts as shown by increased terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining and expression of cleaved caspase-3. Additionally, AdIRF-1 pretreated donor livers had increased activation of the MAP kinase Jun N-terminal kinase as compared with Adnull pretreated donor livers.

conclusionIRF-1 is an important regulator of IR injury after OLT in rats. Targeting of IRF-1 may be a potential strategy to ameliorate ischemic liver injury after transplantation to minimize organ dysfunction.
