Isolation and biochemical analysis of vesicles from taurohyodeoxycholic acid-infused isolated perfused rat livers.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo isolate biliary lipid-carrying vesicles from isolated perfused rat livers after taurohyodeoxycholic acid (THDC) infusion. Biliary lipid vesicles have been implicated in hepatic disease and THDC was used since it increases biliary phospholipid secretion.
methodsRat livers were isolated and perfused via the hepatic portal vein with THDC dissolved in Krebs Ringer Bicarbonate solution, pH 7.4, containing 1 mmol/L CaCl2, 5 mmol/L glucose, a physiological amino acid mixture, 1% bovine serum albumin and 20% (v/v) washed human erythrocytes at a rate of 2000 nmol/min for 2 h. The livers were then removed, homogenized and subjected to centrifugation, and the microsomal fraction was obtained and further centrifuged at 350000 g for 90 min to obtain subcellular fractions. These were analyzed for total phospholipid, cholesterol, protein and alkaline phosphodiesterase I (PDE).
resultsNo significant changes were observed in the total phospholipid, cholesterol and protein contents of the gradient fractions obtained from the microsomal preparation. However, the majority of the gradient fractions (ρ= 1.05-1.07 g/mL and ρ = 1.95-1.23 g/mL) obtained from THDC-infused livers had significantly higher PDE activity compared to the control livers. The low density gradient fraction (ρ = 1.05-1.07 g/mL) which was envisaged to contain the putative vesicle population isolated from THDC-perfused livers had relatively small amounts of phospholipids and protein when compared to the relevant control fractions; however, they displayed an increase in cholesterol and PDE activity. The phospholipids were also isolated by thin layer chromatography and subjected to fractionation by high performance liquid chromatography; however, no differences were observed in the pattern of the fatty acid composition of the phospholipids isolated from THDC and control perfused livers. The density gradient fractions (ρ = 1.10-1.23 g/mL) displayed an increase in all the parameters measured from both control and THDC-infused livers.
conclusionNo significant changes in biliary lipids were observed in the fractions from THDC-infused livers; however, PDE activity was significantly increased compared to the control livers.
