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

In galactosamine (GalN)-induced rat liver injury, hepatic stem/progenitor cells, small hepatocytes (SHs) and oval cells, transiently appear in the initial period of liver regeneration. To clarify the relationship between SHs and oval cells, CD44(+) and Thy1(+) cells were sorted from GalN-treated livers and used as candidates for SHs and oval cells, respectively. Some Thy1(+) cells isolated 3 days after GalN-treatment (GalN-D3) formed CD44(+) cell colonies, but those from GalN-D2 could form few. GeneChip (Affymetrix, Inc, Santa Clara, CA) analysis of the sorted cells and cultured Thy1(+) cells suggested that hepatocytic differentiation progressed in the order Thy1(+) (GalN-D3), Thy1(+) cell colony (Thy1-C), and CD44(+) (GalN-D4) cells. When Thy1(+), Thy1-C, and CD44(+) cells were transplanted into retrorsine/PH rat livers, they could proliferate to form hepatocytic foci. At 30 days after transplantation most cells forming the foci derived from CD44(+) cells possessed C/EBPalpha(+) nuclei, whereas only a few cells derived from Thy1-C showed this positivity. When Thy1(+) (GalN-D3) cells were cultured between collagen gels in medium with hepatocyte growth factor(+)/dexamethasone(-)/dimethyl sulfoxide(-), ducts/cysts consisting of biliary epithelial cells appeared, whereas with CD44(+) and Thy1(+) (GalN-D2) cells they did not. Taken together, these results indicate that the commitment of Thy1(+) cells to differentiate into hepatocytes or biliary epithelial cells may occur between Day 2 and Day 3. Furthermore, some Thy1(+) cells may differentiate into hepatocytes via CD44(+) SHs.
