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

Sepsis is recognized as the acute systemic inflammatory response to severe infection. It is main cause of multiple organ system dysfunction and even organ failure. Long non-coding RNA X inactivate-specific transcript (XIST) is implicated in multiple inflammatory diseases. The aim of present work was to investigate the precise mechanism of XIST underlying sepsis-induced acute liver injury. Rats were underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) to establish sepsis-induced the animal models of acute liver injury. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was performed to observe pathological alterations. Corresponding commercial assay kits were employed to analyze the levels of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress. Western blot and reverse transcriptional quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) were performed to determine the expression of proteins and target genes. Finally, TUNEL and CCK-8 assays were performed to test apoptosis rate and cell viability, respectively. In our study, XIST and BRD4 were highly expressed in serum of patients with sepsis-induced acute liver injury. XIST knockdown ameliorated sepsis-induced acute liver injury and inhibited inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell apoptosis in sepsis-induced acute liver injury rats. Interestingly, XIST knockdown downregulated the expression of BRD4, and BRD4 overexpression abolished the impacts of XIST knockdown on inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis of that LPS-induced Kupffer cells. We conclude that lncRNA XIST silencing protects against sepsis-induced acute liver injury via inhibition of the BRD4 expression. Therefore, XIST may be a biomarker for sepsis diagnosis and treatment.
