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

Sulfatides, a type of glycosphingolipid, are associated with carcinogenesis. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) is involved in the regulation of sulfatide metabolism as well as in cancer development. We previously reported that transgenic (Tg) mice expressing hepatitis C virus core protein (HCVcp) exhibited age-dependent PPARα activation and carcinogenesis in liver. However, the metabolism of sulfatides in hepatocellular carcinoma is unknown. To examine the relationship between sulfatide metabolism, carcinogenesis, HCVcp, and PPARα, age-dependent changes of these factors were examined in HCVcpTg, PPARα inhibitor-treated HCVcpTg, and non-Tg mice. The sulfatide content in liver, the hepatic expression of two key enzymes catalyzing the initial and last reactions in sulfatide synthesis, the hepatic expression of known sulfatide-transferring protein, oxidative stress, and hepatic PPARα expression and its activation were age-dependently increased in HCVcpTg mice. The increased synthesis and accumulation of sulfatides and PPARα activation were significantly enhanced in liver cancer lesions. These changes were attenuated by PPARα inhibitor treatment and not observed in non-Tg mice. These results suggest that HCVcp-induced age-dependent PPARα activation increases synthesis of sulfatides and the resulting sulfatide accumulation affects HCV-related liver cancer. The monitoring of hepatic sulfatide content and the modulation of sulfatide generation by intervention using a PPARα inhibitor might be useful for the prediction and prevention of HCV-related hepatocarcinogenesis, respectively.
