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

The use of animals lacking genes or expressing genes under the control of cell-specific promoters has significantly increased our knowledge of the genetic and molecular basis of physiopathology, allowing testing of functional hypotheses and validation of biochemical and pharmacologic approaches in order to understand cell function. However, with unexpected frequency, gene knockout animals and, more commonly, animal models of transgenesis give experimental support to even opposite conclusions on gene function. Here we summarize what we learned on the role of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) in liver and revise the results obtained in 3 independent models of mice expressing a COX-2 transgene specifically in the hepatocyte. Upon challenge with pro-inflammatory stimuli, the animals behave very differently, some transgenic models having a protective effect but others enhancing the injury. In addition, one transgene exerts differential effects on normal liver physiology depending on the transgenic animal model used.
