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

The liver and kidney in mammals play central roles in protecting the organism from xenobiotics and are at high risk of xenobiotic-induced injury. Xenobiotic-induced tissue injury has been extensively studied from both classical histopathological and biochemical perspectives. Here, we introduce a machine-learning approach to analyze toxicological response. Unsupervised characterization of physiological and histological changes in a large toxicogenomic dataset revealed nine discrete toxin-induced disease states, some of which correspond to known pathology, but others were novel. Analysis of dynamics revealed transitions between disease states at constant toxin exposure, mostly toward decreased pathology, implying induction of tolerance. Tolerance correlated with induction of known xenobiotic defense genes and decrease of novel ferroptosis sensitivity biomarkers, suggesting ferroptosis as a druggable driver of tissue pathophysiology. Lastly, mechanism of body weight decrease, a known primary marker for xenobiotic toxicity, was investigated. Combined analysis of food consumption, body weight, and molecular biomarkers indicated that organ injury promotes cachexia by whole-body signaling through Gdf15 and Igf1, suggesting strategies for therapeutic intervention that may be broadly relevant to human disease.
