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 investigate the effect of E3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one (Edr) on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and liver regeneration in a porcine hepatectomy model.

methodsOne hour ischemia was induced by occluding the vessels and the bile duct of the right and median lobes. A 40% left hepatectomy was performed after reperfusion. Six animals received Edr (3 mg/kg per hour) intravenously and six control animals received saline just before reperfusion. Remnant liver volume, hemodynamics, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase and lactic acid, were compared between the groups. The expression of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β1) and toll-like receptor (TRL) mRNA in hepatic tissues was examined using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Apoptosis was demonstrated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining, respectively.

resultsSerum AST (P = 0.029), and toll like receptor 4 level (P = 0.043) were significantly lower after 3 h in animals receiving Edr. In addition, TUNEL staining in Edr-treated pigs showed significantly fewer hepatocytes undergoing apoptosis compared with control pigs. After 1 mo, all factors were non-significantly different between the two groups.

conclusionEdr is considered to reduce hepatic injury in the early stage of I/R injury in a porcine model.
