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

Acute liver injury is a destructive liver disorder resulting from overwhelming liver inflammation, oxidative stress and hepatocyte death. Puerarin is a natural flavonoid compound isolated from the traditional Chinese herb radix puerariae. This study investigated the protective effects of puerarin against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/D-galactosamine (D-Gal)-induced liver injury and the potential mechanisms in mice. Mice were given an intraperitoneal administration of puerarin 200 mg/kg 2 h prior to LPS (50 μg/kg)/D-Gal (400 mg/kg) injection and were sacrificed 6 h post LPS/D-Gal treatment. The results showed that administration of puerarin substantially alleviated LPS/D-Gal-induced acute liver injury in mice by increased survival rates, improved liver histopathology, reduced plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, alleviated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and suppressed hepatocyte apoptosis. Moreover, puerarin pretreatment activated autophagy by increased the ratio of LC3B-II/I and the protein levels of Beclin-1, decreased the levels of p62 protein expression. Taken together, these findings demonstrated that puerarin could prevent the LPS/D-Gal-induced liver injury in mice, and its mechanisms might be associated with the increments of autophagy and suppression of apoptosis.
