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

BACKGROUND &

aimsAcetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury is coupled with activation of the blood coagulation cascade and fibrin(ogen) accumulation within APAP-injured livers of experimental mice. We sought to define the role of fibrin(ogen) deposition in APAP-induced liver injury and repair.

methodsWild-type, fibrinogen-deficient mice, mutant mice with fibrin(ogen) incapable of binding leukocyte α

resultsIn wild-type mice, APAP overdose increased intrahepatic levels of high molecular weight cross-linked fibrin(ogen). Anticoagulation reduced early APAP hepatotoxicity (6h), but increased hepatic injury at 24h, implying a protective role for coagulation at the onset of repair. Complete fibrin(ogen) deficiency delayed liver repair after APAP overdose, evidenced by a reduction of proliferating hepatocytes (24h) and unresolved hepatocellular necrosis (48 and 72h). Fibγ

conclusionsThese studies highlight a novel pathway of liver repair after APAP overdose, mediated by fibrin(ogen)-α LAY SUMMARY: Acetaminophen overdose leads to activation of coagulation cascade and deposition of high molecular weight cross-linked fibrin(ogen) species in the liver. Fibrin(ogen) is required for stimulating liver repair after acetaminophen overdose. The mechanism whereby fibrin(ogen) drives liver repair after acetaminophen overdose requires engagement of leukocyte α
