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

How different cell death modes and cell survival pathways cross talk remains elusive. We determined the interrelation of apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α/actinomycin D (ActD) and lipopolysaccharide/D-galactosamine (GalN)-induced hepatotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. We found that TNF-α/ActD-induced apoptosis was completely blocked by a general caspase inhibitor ZVAD-fmk at 24 hours but hepatocytes still died by necrosis at 48 hours. Inhibition of caspases also protected mice against lipopolysaccharide/GalN-induced apoptosis and liver injury at the early time point, but this protection was diminished after prolonged treatment by switching apoptosis to necrosis. Inhibition of receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIP)1 by necrostatin 1 partially inhibited TNF-α/ZVAD-induced necrosis in primary hepatocytes. Pharmacologic inhibition of autophagy or genetic deletion of Atg5 in hepatocytes did not protect against TNF-α/ActD/ZVAD-induced necrosis. Moreover, pharmacologic inhibition of RIP1 or genetic deletion of RIP3 failed to protect and even exacerbated liver injury after mice were treated with lipopolysaccharide/GalN and a pan-caspase inhibitor. In conclusion, our results suggest that different cell death mode and cell survival pathways are closely integrated during TNF-α-induced liver injury when both caspases and NF-κB are blocked. Moreover, results from our study also raised concerns about the safety of currently ongoing clinical trials that use caspase inhibitors.
