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

Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA), a major constituent in the hydrophilic fraction of the safflower plant, can retard the progress of hepatic fibrosis. However, the anti-inflammatory properties and the underlying mechanisms of HSYA on I/R-induced acute liver injury are unknown. Inhibiting macrophage activation is a potential strategy to treat liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effect of HSYA on liver I/R injury and the direct effect of HSYA on macrophage activation following inflammatory conditions. The therapeutic effects of HSYA on I/R injury were tested in vivo using a mouse model of segmental (70%) hepatic ischemia. The mechanisms of HSYA were examined in vitro by evaluating migration and the cytokine expression profile of the macrophage cell line RAW264.7 exposed to acute hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R). Results showed that mice pretreated with HSYA had reduced serum transaminase levels, attenuated inflammation and necrosis, reduced expression of inflammatory cytokines, and less macrophage recruitment following segmental hepatic ischemia. In vitro HSYA pretreated RAW264.7 macrophages displayed reduced migratory response and produced less inflammatory cytokines. In addition, HSYA pretreatment down-regulated the expression of matrix matalloproteinase-9 and reactive oxygen species, and inhibited NF-κB activation and P38 phosphorylation in RAW264.7 cells. Thus, these data suggest that HSYA can reduce I/R-induced acute liver injury by directly attenuating macrophage activation under inflammatory conditions.
