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

Isoniazid (INH) can cause serious idiosyncratic liver injury. An animal model would greatly facilitate mechanistic studies, but it is essential that the mechanism in the model be similar to the liver injury that can occur in humans. We attempted to replicate a previous study in which Wistar rats treated with INH and rifampicin (RMP) developed liver injury, which was promising because of its delayed onset similar to the liver injury that can occur in humans. Wistar rats were treated with either a high dose of INH (150 mg/kg/day) or a combination of INH and RMP (75 mg/kg/day and 50 mg/kg/day, respectively) for up to 4 weeks. However, we did not observe any liver injury or evidence of an inflammatory infiltrate as had been reported; rather, we observed an increase in CTLA4-positive cells in the cervical lymph nodes as well as a decrease in serum CXCL1 and MCP-1. In short, we were unable to reproduce a previously reported model of delayed onset INH-induced liver injury in Wistar rats.
