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

aimTo investigate the impact of alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2α) phosphorylation on liver regeneration.

methodsMale BALB/c mice were intraperitoneally injected with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) to induce liver injury. Human hepatocyte LO2 cells were incubated with thapsigargin to induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Salubrinal, integrated stress response inhibitor (ISRIB), and DnaJC3 overexpression were used to alter eIF2α phosphorylation levels.

resultsCCl4 administration induced significant ER stress and eIF2α phosphorylation, and increased hepatocyte proliferation proportionally to the extent of injury. Inhibiting eIF2α dephosphorylation with salubrinal pretreatment significantly mitigated liver injury and hepatocyte proliferation. In LO2 cells, thapsigargin induced significant eIF2α phosphorylation and inhibited proliferation. Inhibiting eIF2α dephosphorylation partly restored cell proliferation during ER stress.

conclusionsIn acute liver injury, inhibiting eIF2α dephosphorylation protects injured hepatocytes and reduces hepatocyte proliferation.
