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

backgroundOxidative stress plays a crucial role in the development of alcoholic liver disease (ALD), however effective pharmacological treatment for oxidative injury is still lacking. The objective of this study was to determine whether inhibition of NADPH oxidase activity could reverse alcohol-induced liver injury via protecting mitochondrial functions.

methodsC57BL/6J mice were pair-fed with Lieber-DeCarli control or ethanol diet for four week with or without administration with 30mg/kg/d GKT137831, a NOX4 inhibitor for the last two weeks. H4IIEC3 cells were transfected with scrambled or NOX4 shRNA. Cells were then treated with 200mM ethanol for 48h.

resultsAlcohol exposure induced NOX4 expression in the liver and mitochondrial fraction. GKT137831 partially reversed alcohol-induced liver injury and elevation of serum H

conclusionPharmacological inhibition of NOX4 activity protects against alcohol-induced fat accumulation and activation of intrinsic apoptosis via improving mitochondrial function. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: Pharmacological inhibition of NOX4 could be a promising treatment for ALD.
