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

Hepatotoxicity induced by acetaminophen (APAP)-overdose is a major concern in clinical practice. In the present work, the detoxifying effect of irbesartan (Irb) on the APAP-induced acute liver injury was evaluated in mice. Induction of acute liver injury in mice was established by a single intraperitoneal (IP) injection of APAP (0.5 g/kg), then mice were injected with Irb (50 or 75 mg/kg, IP), each given twice at 1 and 12 hours post APAP injection. Liver functions, hepatic oxidative and nitrosative stress markers, and liver histopathology were determined after 24 hours. Hepatic cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) levels were also estimated. Immunohistochemical evaluations of hepatic expression of phosphorylated NF-kB and active caspase-3 were assigned. Irb treatment attenuated APAP-induced acute liver injury. Irb suppressed APAP-caused elevation of liver enzymes as well as oxidative and nitrosative stress in liver tissues as evidenced by the decrease in hepatic CYP2E1 expression and hepatic levels of malondialdehyde and nitric oxide in addition to the elevated hepatic superoxide dismutase activity and reduced glutathione concentration. Also, Irb mitigated APAP-induced inflammation in liver tissues via decreasing the expression of hepatic NF-κB, phosphorylated NF-κB and TNF-α, and attenuated hepatic apoptosis via decreasing Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and caspase 3 expression and activation. Also, Irb mitigated the APAP-induced histopathological changes in liver specimens. These data suggested that Irb ameliorates APAP-induced acute liver injury through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic activities.
