Effect of Liver Cell Transplantation on Acute Hepatic Failure Induced by Massive Liver Resection in the Rat.
Article in Korean journal of hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery, 2011. 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
purposeThis study is designed to ascertain the most effective quantity and injection route of hepatocytes in an acute liver failure model induced by massive liver resection in rats.
methodsRats weighing 450 to 650 gm underwent partial hepatectomy that was 80% of their liver weight, resulting in acute liver failure. Hepatocytes were obtained by perfusing collagenase (Wako, Japan) solution through portal vein into liver of the allogenic rat. These hepatocytes were injected into different places with different dosage. The experimental groups were divided into the Control group, Splenic group I (2×10(6) cells into splenic capsule), Splenic group II (2×10(7) cells into splenic capsule), Portal vein group (2×10(7) cells into portal vein), Subperitoneal group (2×10(7) cells into subperitoneum). The experimental animals were observed carefully for 5 days for assessment of survival and regeneration of liver. Liver function tests including serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin, gamma-glutamyl transferase (γ-GTP) on postoperative 1, 2, 3, 5th days and histologic examinations of specimens obtained from each respective groups on postoperative 5th day were performed.
resultsSerum ALT level on postoperative day 1 peaked and then gradually normalized showing statistical significance (p=0.035). Study groups showing statistically significant difference under repeated anova analysis were between the Splenic group II and Control (p=0.035), and between the Splenic group II and Portal vein group (p=0.001) with respect to serum ALT levels. Also, progression of each study group showed statistical significance. (p=0.02). Serum total bilirubin and r-GTP did not show any significant difference.
conclusionHepatocyte transplantation of 2×10(7) cells into spleen showed the best results in the acute hepatic failure rat.
