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

objectiveTo investigate the effect of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) gene silencing and accumulation of lysine metabolites on the viability of hepatocytes.

methodsBRL cells were divided into normal control group, negative control group, and GCDH silencing group. The shRNA lentiviral vector for silencing GCDH gene was constructed, and the BRL hepatocytes in the GCDH silencing group and the negative control group were infected with this lentivirus and negative control virus respectively, and then cultured in a medium containing 5 mmol/L lysine. Immunofluorescence assay was used to measure the infection efficiency of lentivirus. Western blot was used to measure the expression of GCDH protein. MTT assay was used to evaluate cell viability. Hoechest33342 staining was used to measure cell apoptosis. Western blot was used to measure the expression of Caspase-3, an index of cell apoptosis.

resultsThe lentivirus constructed effectively silenced the GCDH gene in hepatocytes (P<0.01). MTT assay and Hoechest 33342 staining showed no significant differences in cell viability and apoptosis between groups (P>0.05). There was also no significant difference in the expression of Caspase-3 protein between groups (P>0.05).

conclusionsGCDH gene silencing and accumulation of lysine metabolites may not cause marked hepatocyte injury.
