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

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a potent hepatocarcinogen in humans and exposure to AFB1 is known to cause both acute and chronic hepatocellular injury. As the liver is known to be the main target organ of aflatoxin, it is important to identify the key molecules that participate in AFB1-induced hepatotoxicity and to investigate their underlying mechanisms. In this study, the critical role of caveolin-1 in AFB1-induced hepatic cell apoptosis was examined. We found a decrease in cell viability and an increase in oxidation and apoptosis in human hepatocyte L02 cells after AFB1 exposure. In addition, the intracellular expression of caveolin-1 was increased in response to AFB1 treatment. Downregulation of caveolin-1 significantly alleviated AFB1-induced apoptosis and decreased cell viability, whereas overexpression of caveolin-1 reversed these effects. Further functional analysis showed that caveolin-1 participates in AFB1-induced oxidative stress through its interaction with Nrf2, leading to the downregulation of cellular antioxidant enzymes and the promotion of oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. In addition, caveolin-1 was found to regulate AFB1-induced autophagy. This finding was supported by the effect that caveolin-1 deficiency promoted autophagy after AFB1 treatment, leading to the inhibition of apoptosis, whereas overexpression of caveolin-1 inhibited autophagy and accelerated apoptosis. Interestingly, further investigation showed that caveolin-1 participates in AFB1-induced autophagy by regulating the EGFR/PI3K-AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Taken together, our data reveal that caveolin-1 plays a crucial role in AFB1-induced hepatic cell apoptosis via the regulation of oxidation and autophagy, which provides a potential target for the development of novel treatments to combat AFB1 hepatotoxicity.
