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

This research aimed to explore the effect of augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) in acute pancreatitis (AP) of mice and the underlying mechanism. Caerulein were given to mice to get AP models. AP mice were given saline, ALR plasmids or negative control plasmids. Then, pancreas tissues were fixed and stained for histological examination. The levels of serum amylase, serum lipase, MPO, HMGB1, TNF-α, IL-1β as well as MCP-1 were detected by ELISA assay. The mRNA levels of TLR4, p65, IκBα, iNOS, COX-2 and GAPDH were examined by RT-qPCR. The protein levels of HMGB1, TLR4, MD2, MyD88, IκBα and GAPDH were detected by western blotting. ALR decreased serum amylase as well as lipase levels and alleviated the histopathological alterations of the pancreas in AP mice. ALR decreased the MPO activity of pancreas in AP Mice. ALR decreased the HMGB1/TLR4 signaling pathway in AP Mice. ALR decreased pancreas IL-1β and MCP-1 in AP mice, and also decreased plasma TNF-α and IL-1β in AP mice. ALR attenuated the cerulein-caused increase in p65 mRNA and protein levels, but had no effects on mRNA and protein levels of IκBα. The AP mice significantly promoted the mRNA levels of iNOS and COX-2 that was inhibited by ALR. HNE formation was also increased in AP mice, but it was decreased by ALR. ALR alleviates acute pancreatitis by inhibiting HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. It is promising to alleviate the syndromes of patients with acute via targeting ALR.
