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

background and purposeSunitinib is a small-molecule TK inhibitor associated with hepatotoxicity. The mechanisms of its toxicity are still unclear. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: In the present study, mice were treated with 60, 150, and 450 mg·kg KEY

resultsFour reactive metabolites and impaired clearance of sunitinib in liver played a dominant role in sunitinib-induced hepatotoxicity. Using a non-targeted metabolomics approach, various metabolic pathways, including mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (β-FAO), bile acids, lipids, amino acids, nucleotides, and tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates, were disrupted after sunitinib treatment. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: These studies identified significant alterations in mitochondrial β-FAO and bile acid homeostasis. Activation of PPARα and inhibition of xenobiotic metabolism may be of value in attenuating sunitinib hepatotoxicity.
