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

BACKGROUND AND

aimRecent studies disclosed that autophagy facilitates the process of senescence. Given that cellular senescence is involved in the pathophysiology of ductular reaction (DR) in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), we examined an involvement of autophagy in DRs in PBC and control livers.

methodsWe examined immunohistochemically the expression of microtubule-associated proteins light chain 3β (LC3) as autophagy marker, p62/sequestosome-1 (p62) as autophagy-related marker in bile ductular cells in livers taken from the patients with PBC (n = 42), and control livers (n = 100). The expression of senescent markers (p16(INK4a) and p21(WAF1/Cip1)) in bile ductular cells and their correlation with autophagy was also evaluated.

resultsThe expression of LC3 was seen in coarse vesicles in the cytoplasm of bile ductular cells and significantly more frequently in PBC of both early and advanced stages when compared to control livers (p < 0.01). The expression of p62 was seen as intracytoplasmic aggregates and significantly more frequently in PBC when compared to control livers (p < 0.05). The expression of LC3 and p62 significantly correlated with each other (p < 0.01). The expression of LC3 and p62 significantly correlated with the expression of p16(INK4a), p21(WAF1/Cip1) (p < 0.05).

conclusionsAutophagy is frequently seen in bile ductular cells in DRs in PBC. Since cellular senescence of bile ductular cells is rather frequent in the advanced stage of PBC, autophagy may precede cellular senescence of bile ductular cells in DRs in PBC.
