Negligible Oval Cell Proliferation Following Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury With and Without Partial Hepatectomy.
Article in Ochsner journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundHepatic oval cells proliferate to replace hepatocytes and restore liver function when hepatocyte proliferation is compromised or inadequate. Exposure to chemical carcinogens, severe liver steatosis, and partial hepatectomy has been used in animal models to demonstrate the role of oval cells in liver regeneration. Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) causes hepatocellular damage and death in the absence of confounding chemical toxicity; however, oval cell induction by IRI has not been demonstrated in vivo. We examine oval cell induction following partial IRI.
methodsWistar rats were subjected to 2 IRI protocols: 70% warm liver ischemia for 30 minutes followed by reperfusion or 70% warm liver ischemia for 30 minutes with partial hepatectomy of the nonischemic lobes followed by reperfusion. Liver injury was monitored by serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) at 1 day and 7 days of reperfusion. Oval cell proliferation was monitored by indirect immunofluorescence staining using the surface markers BD.2 and Thy-1. Cellular proliferation was quantified by 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation in vivo.
resultsSerum ALT elevation was only observed at the 1-day time point in the IRI with partial hepatectomy model. Oval cell marker expression was restricted to the biliary structures in both the ischemic and the nonischemic control lobes. Oval cell induction, measured by changes in the frequency of BD.2 and Thy-1 expression and EdU incorporation, was not significantly altered by IRI.
conclusionIn both mild and moderate IRI models, we did not find evidence of oval cell induction or proliferation. EdU staining was restricted to hepatocytes, suggesting that liver regeneration following IRI is mediated by hepatocyte proliferation.
