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

objectivesLiver transplantation is the most important therapy for end-stage liver disease and ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury is indeed a risk factor for hepatic failure after grafting. The role of miRNAs in I/R is not completely understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential protective role of the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and ischemic preconditioning on miR-370 expression and tissue injury in hepatic I/R injury. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this study, 24 BALB/c mice were divided into 4 groups, including sham, I/R, I/R mouse that received MSCs (I/R+MSC) and ischemia preconditioning (IPC) The expression levels of hepatic miR-370, Bcl2 and BAX in male BALB/c mice in different groups including hepatic I/R, hepatic I/R received MSCs, and hepatic I/R with IPC were assessed by quantitative real-time PCR. The effect of miR-370 on hepatic I/R was investigated by serum liver enzyme analysis and histological examination.

resultsThe expression of miR-370 was significantly up-regulated in the mice subjected to hepatic I/R injury as compared with the sham operated mice. Injection of MSCs led to the down-regulation of the serum liver enzymes, expression of miR-370 and BAX, up-regulation of Bcl2 as well as the improvement of hepatic histological damage. IPC led to similar results, but the difference was not significant.

conclusionOur data suggest that miR-370 affected the Blc2/BAX pathway in hepatic I/R injury, and down- regulation of miR-370 by BM-MSCs efficiently attenuated the liver damage.
