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 role of hepatic xenobiotic regulatory mechanisms in modulating hepatic α-tocopherol concentrations during excess vitamin E administration remains unclear. We hypothesized that increased hepatic α-tocopherol would cause a marked xenobiotic response. Thus, we assessed cytochrome P450 oxidation systems (phase I), conjugation systems (phase II), and transporters (phase III) after daily α-tocopherol injections (100mg/kg body wt) for up to 9days in rats. α-Tocopherol injections increased hepatic α-tocopherol concentrations nearly 20-fold, along with a 10-fold increase in the hepatic α-tocopherol metabolites α-CEHC and α-CMBHC. Expression of phase I (CYP3A2, CYP3A1, CYP2B2) and phase II (SULT2A1) proteins and/or mRNAs was variably affected by α-tocopherol injections; however, expression of phase III transporter genes was consistently changed by α-tocopherol. Two liver efflux transporter genes, ABCB1b and ABCG2, were up-regulated after α-tocopherol injections, whereas OATP, a liver influx transporter, was down-regulated. Thus, an overload of hepatic α-tocopherol increases its own metabolism and increases expression of genes of transporters that are postulated to lead to increased excretion of both vitamin E and its metabolites.
