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

Emerging evidence suggests that proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), play a critical role in the initiation and progression of liver regeneration; however, relatively little is known about the role of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PHx). Here, we examined the role of IL-10 in liver regeneration using a model of PHx in several strains of genetically modified mice. After PHx, expression of IL-10 mRNA in the liver and spleen was significantly elevated. Such elevation was diminished in TLR4 mutant mice. Compared with wild-type mice, IL-10(-/-) mice had higher levels of expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) and inflammatory markers (CCR2 and F4/80) in the liver, as well as higher serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines after PHx. The number of neutrophils and macrophages was also higher in the livers of IL-10(-/-) mice than in wild-type mice after PHx. Liver regeneration as determined by BrdU incorporation after PHx was higher in IL-10(-/-) mice than in wild-type mice, which was associated with higher levels of activation of IL-6 downstream signal STAT3 in the liver. An additional deletion of STAT3 in hepatocytes significantly reduced liver regeneration in IL-10(-/-) mice after PHx. Collectively, IL-10 plays an important role in negatively regulating liver regeneration via limiting inflammatory response and subsequently tempering hepatic STAT3 activation.
