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

Currently, the underlying mechanism of oxaliplatin (OXA) induced live injury is unclear. In addition, there is no standard clinical treatment for OXA-induced acute liver injury (ALI). In this study, we established an animal model of OXA-induced ALI, and studied the role of oxidative stress in OXA-induced ALI and the impacts of reduced glutathione (GSH) treatment on OXA-induced ALI. To establish an OXA-induced ALI model, KM mice received intraperitoneal injection of OXA (8 mg/kg) for 4 days. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase levels (AST), hepatic pathology and oxidative stress indicators in liver tissues were analyzed. To study the impact of GSH treatment on OXA-induced ALI, mice were treated with GSH (400 mg/kg, i.p). In this ALI mouse model, ALT and AST levels were significantly increased (P<0.01). Liver pathological examination revealed varying degrees of liver cell turbidity and degeneration, even balloon-like changes and focal necrosis, and sinusoidal hemorrhage in some cells. Compared with control group, the malondialdehyde (MDA) and GSH levels were significantly increased in OXA-treated group (P<0.01), while the superoxide dismutase SOD and GSH-peroxidase levels were decreased after OXA withdrawal (P<0.01). When GSH was used to treat OXA-induced ALI mice, the pathological injury of liver tissues was alleviated, and serum ALT and AST were significantly decreased. In addition, GSH treatment could reduce the OXA-induced increase of MDA level (P<0.05) in liver tissues, but had no impact on SOD level (P>0.05). We have successfully established an OXA-induced ALI model. Using this model, we discover that oxidative stress plays an important role in OXA-induced ALI. GSH-based hepatoprotective therapy can partially inhibit oxidative stress and alleviate OXA-induced ALI.
