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

MET and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinases are crucial for liver regeneration and normal hepatocyte function. Recently, we demonstrated that in mice, combined inhibition of these two signaling pathways abolished liver regeneration after hepatectomy, with subsequent hepatic failure and death at 15 to 18 days after resection. Morbidity was associated with distinct and specific alterations in important downstream signaling pathways that led to decreased hepatocyte volume, reduced proliferation, and shutdown of many essential hepatocyte functions, such as fatty acid synthesis, urea cycle, and mitochondrial functions. Herein, we explore the role of MET and EGFR signaling in resting mouse livers that are not subjected to hepatectomy. Mice with combined disruption of MET and EGFR signaling were noticeably sick by 10 days and died at 12 to 14 days. Mice with combined disruption of MET and EGFR signaling mice showed decreased liver/body weight ratios, increased apoptosis in nonparenchymal cells, impaired liver metabolic functions, and activation of distinct downstream signaling pathways related to inflammation, cell death, and survival. The present study demonstrates that, in addition to controlling the regenerative response, MET and EGFR synergistically control baseline liver homeostasis in normal mice in such a way that their combined disruption leads to liver failure and death.
