Protective effect of intermittent clamping of the portal triad in the rat liver on liver ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Article in Hepatitis monthly, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundIntermittent clamping (IC) of the portal triad is an effective method of protecting the liver from ischemia-reperfusion injury (IR). In clinical practice, this method is employed during a resection, but its mechanism is still not clear.
objectivesTo evaluate the effect of IC on rat liver and determine its mechanisms. MATERIALS AND
methodsWistar rats were submitted to 60-min IC (cycles of 12-min clamping followed by 4-min reperfusion), and the samples were collected after 1, 6, and 72 hrs of reperfusion. We determined the serum activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and measured the concentration of TNF-α, malondialdehyde (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in liver homogenates. The apoptosis of hepatocytes was evaluated immunohistochemically.
resultsWhen compared to the IR rats, the activity of ALT decreased in the IC group in all periods of observation (the highest decrease of ~48% after 1 hr of reperfusion). When compared to the IR group, a statistically significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the TNF-α concentration (~33%) in the IC rats occurred only after 1 hr of reperfusion, and it was accompanied by a decrease in the MPO concentration after 1 and 6 hrs of reperfusion. IC reduces the effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity, which has been confirmed by a statistically significant decrease in MDA concentration by 25%-35% in all studied periods. The limitation of hepatocytes apoptosis due to IC occurs in the early (~26%; p < 0.05) and late (~45%; p < 0.01) phases of reperfusion.
conclusionsThe use of IC in early phase of reperfusion brings about a decrease in TNF-α release, which can be related to liver injury due to neutrophil infiltration and apoptotic cell reduction. It seems that the reduction of lipid peroxidation may also limit the liver injury.
