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

purposeOxidative stress and inflammation contribute to hepatic injury after hemorrhage/resuscitation (H/R). Natural plant polyphenols, i.e., green tea extract (GTE) possess high anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in various models of acute inflammation. However, possible protective effects and feasible mechanisms by which plant polyphenols modulate pro-inflammatory, apoptotic, and oxidant signaling after H/R in the liver remain unknown. Therefore, we investigated the effects of GTE and its impact on the activation of NF-kappaB in the pathogenesis of hepatic injury induced by H/R.

methodsTwenty-four female LEWIS rats (180-250 g) were fed a standard chow (ctrl) or a diet containing 0.1% polyphenolic extracts (GTE) from Camellia sinensis starting 5 days before H/R. Rats were hemorrhaged to a mean arterial pressure of 30 ± 2 mmHg for 60 min and resuscitated (H/R and GTE H/R groups). Control groups (sham, ctrl, and GTE) underwent surgical procedures without H/R. Two hours after resuscitation, tissues were harvested.

resultsPlasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) increased 3.5-fold and fourfold, respectively, in vehicle-treated rats as compared to GTE-fed rats. Histopathological analysis revealed significantly decreased hepatic necrosis and apoptosis in GTE-fed rats after H/R. Real-time PCR showed that GTE diminished gene expression of pro-apoptotic caspase-8 and Bax, while anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 was increased after H/R. Hepatic oxidative (4-hydroxynonenal) and nitrosative (3-nitrotyrosine) stress as well as systemic IL-6 level and hepatic IL-6 mRNA were markedly reduced in GTE-fed rats compared with controls after H/R. Plant polyphenols also decreased the activation of both JNK and NFκB.

conclusionsTaken together, GTE application blunts hepatic damage, apoptotic, oxidative, and pro-inflammatory changes after H/R. These results underline the important roles of JNK and NF-kappaB in inflammatory processes after H/R and the beneficial impact of plant polyphenols in preventing their activation.
