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

Ischemia-reperfusion injury due to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) is one of the main causes of liver damage during liver surgery. Donor interleukin-6 (IL-6) rs1800796 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affect the metabolism of tacrolimus following liver transplantation-related hepatic H/R. This study investigated the response of IL-6 and its promoter polymorphisms to hepatic H/R in liver parenchymal cells. The association between IL-6 rs1800796 SNPs and IL‑6 expression was measured in 84 disease-free liver tissues using tissue microarrays and immunohistochemistry. Subsequently, LO2G, LO2C and NC-LO2 cells were successfully constructed via stable lentivirus-mediated transfection. The effects of IL-6 and its SNPs on the biological function of LO2 cells were examined using a cell model of H/R. Our results revealed that IL-6 was mainly expressed in hepatocytes. The intermediate IL-6 expression rate in genotype CC carriers was higher than that in genotype CG/GG carriers (P=0.006), which was subsequently verified at the IL-6 mRNA level (P=0.002). The concentrations of alanine aminotransferase in the LO2G cells were significantly higher than those in the LO2C cells following H/R for 6 h and H/R for 24 h (P<0.05). The viability of the LO2C cells was higher than that of the LO2G cells (P<0.05). Furthermore, the expression of IL-6 and its downstream molecules was significantly increased in the LO2C cells compared with the LO2G cells (P<0.05). Therefore, the sequence variants of rs1800796 SNPs (G→C) exhibit an increased IL-6 transcription efficiency in liver parenchymal cells. In addition, the increased expression of IL-6 protects the hepatocytes following hepatic H/R injury.
