A new style of dimethylnitrosamine induced fulminant hepatitis in mice.
Article in Hepatitis monthly, 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
backgroundThere is still no suitable mice model that can completely mimic the human fulminant hepatitis, which sets a block for drug effect evaluation and mechanism researching of human fulminant hepatitis.
objectivesThe aim of this study was to establish an animal model able to mimic the main features of human fulminant hepatitis. MATERIALS AND
methodsDimethylnitrosamine (DMN) was peritoneally injected to mice for liver injury induction. Serum biochemicals, and Prothrombin Time were tested, and Prothrombin activity was calculated, the liver tissue pathological changes were evaluated via macroscopic view observation, HE staining, immunochemical staining, and electron microscopy observation. The mRNA levels of TNF-a, Fas, and IL-1beta were tested with quantitative PCR assay.
resultsThe serum levels of both ALT and AST were elevated significantly and showed a high plateau. Liver pathological changes were progressed before 48 hours post DMN injection and then started to restore. The mRNA and protein expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly elevated. The PT started to extend from 36 hours and PTA was lower than 40% from then on.
conclusionsThis kind of DMN induced mice liver injury is similar to human fulminant hepatitis in main features. This work provided a mice model which could mimic human fulminant hepatitis, and could be valuable for fulminant hepatitis mechanism research and liver protection drug evaluation.
