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

aimTo evaluate the effects of diazoxide on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-injured hepatocytes and further elucidate its underlying mechanisms.

methodsMale Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized (8 for donor and recipient per group) into five groups: I/R group (4 h of liver cold ischemia followed by 6 h of reperfusion); heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) small interfering RNA (siRNA) group (injection of siRNA via donor portal vein 48 h prior to harvest); diazoxide (DZ) group (injection of DZ via donor portal vein 10 min prior to harvest); HO-1 siRNA + DZ group; and siRNA control group. Blood and liver samples were collected at 6 h after reperfusion. The mRNA expressions and protein levels of HO-1 were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting, and tissue morphology was examined by light and transmission electron microscopy. Serum transaminases level and cytokines concentration were also measured.

resultsWe observed that a significant reduction of HO-1 mRNA and protein levels in HO-1 siRNA and HO-1 siRNA + DZ group when compared with I/R group, while the increases were prominent in the DZ group. Light and transmission electron microscopy indicated severe disruption of tissue with lobular distortion and mitochondrial cristae damage in the HO-1 siRNA and HO-1 siRNA + DZ groups compared with DZ group. Serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate transaminase, tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 levels increased in the HO-1 siRNA and HO-1 siRNA + DZ groups, and decreased in the DZ group.

conclusionThe protective effect of DZ may be induced by upregulation of HO-1. By inhibiting expression of HO-1, this protection pretreated with DZ was abolished.
