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

objectiveHigh-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is identified as an extracellularly released mediator of inflammation. In this study, specific monoclonal anti-HMGB1 antibody was administered to rats with acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) in order to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of HMGB1 blockade.

methodsAll animals were randomly divided into control group, model group and anti-HMGB1 antibody group. The changes in liver histology and apoptosis of liver tissue were detected by H&E staining and TUNEL assay, respectively. The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), endotoxin, HMGB1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) were examined. The hepatic levels of HMGB1, caspase3, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and p65 subunit of NF-κB (P65) were also determined.

resultsChanges in liver pathology and liver cell apoptosis were greatly attenuated in the anti-HMGB1 antibody group compared with the model group. The serum levels of ALT, endotoxin, TNF-α, IFN-γ and HMGB1 were also decreased in the anti-HMGB1 antibody group. Furthermore, the hepatic levels of HMGB1, TLR4, caspase3 and P65 were also down-regulated by HMGB1 blockade.

conclusionBlockade of HMGB1 can confer a protective effect against ACLF in rats, even 24 h after induction of ACLF. The protective effect of HMGB1 blockade is associated with interactions of HMGB1 with the TLR4 signaling pathway and cytokine production.
