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

Tectorigenin has received attention due to its antiproliferation, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. In this study, we investigated the effects of tectorigenin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/D-galactosamine(D-GalN)-induced fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) in mice and LPS-stimulated macrophages (RAW 264.7 cells). Pretreatment with tectorigenin significantly reduced the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), histological injury, apoptosis, and the mortality of FHF mice, by suppressing the production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6. Tectorigenin also suppressed the activation of the inflammatory response in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Tectorigenin-induced protection is mediated through its mitigation of TLR4 expression, inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway activation, and promotion of autophagy in FHF mice and LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Therefore, tectorigenin has therapeutic potential for FHF in mice via the regulation of TLR4/MAPK and TLR4/NF-κB pathways and autophagy.
