Protective effects of protopanaxatriol on acute liver injury induced by concanavalin A.

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.
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
The purpose of this study was to explore the protective effect of protopanaxatriol (PPT) on acute liver injury induced by concanavalin A (ConA). In this study, mice were randomly separated into four groups. The first group received PBS (i.v.). The second group was given PPT (50 mg/kg body weight, i.p.) for 3 days before PBS (i.v.) injection. The third group received ConA (15 mg/kg body weight, i.v.). The fourth group was administered PPT (50 mg/kg body weight, i.p.) for 3 days before ConA (i.v.) injection. The serum levels of ALT and AST were detected after 20 h of ConA injection. The pathological changes of liver were observed by H/E staining. The expression of inflammatory factors was measured by ELISA and qRTPCR, and the changes of the signaling pathway were detected by western blot. Histopathological changes and blood transaminase elevation indicated significant liver injury after ConA injection. However, PPT pretreatment obviously reversed these changes. The ELISA and qRT-PCR results indicated that PPT preconditioning significantly inhibited the production of inflammatory factors. In addition, this inhibitory effect of PPT was mainly mediated by regulation of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. The active ingredient of ginseng, PPT, exerts an obvious protective effect on acute liver injury caused by ConA through inhibiting the inflammatory response.
