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

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose results in acute liver failure and has limited treatment options. Previous studies show that stimulating liver regeneration is critical for survival after APAP overdose, but the mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we identified major signaling pathways involved in liver regeneration after APAP-induced acute liver injury using a novel incremental dose model. Liver injury and regeneration were studied in C57BL/6 mice treated with either 300 mg/kg (APAP300) or 600 mg/kg (APAP600) APAP. Mice treated with APAP300 developed extensive liver injury and robust liver regeneration. In contrast, APAP600-treated mice exhibited significant liver injury but substantial inhibition of liver regeneration, resulting in sustained injury and decreased survival. The inhibition of liver regeneration in the APAP600 group was associated with cell cycle arrest and decreased cyclin D1 expression. Several known regenerative pathways, including the IL-6/STAT-3 and epidermal growth factor receptor/c-Met/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways, were activated, even at APAP600, where regeneration was inhibited. However, canonical Wnt/β-catenin and NF-κB pathways were activated only in APAP300-treated mice, where liver regeneration was stimulated. Furthermore, overexpression of a stable form of β-catenin, where serine 45 is mutated to aspartic acid, in mice resulted in improved liver regeneration after APAP overdose. Taken together, our incremental dose model has identified a differential role of several signaling pathways in liver regeneration after APAP overdose and highlighted canonical Wnt signaling as a potential target for regenerative therapies for APAP-induced acute liver failure.
