Pterostilbene Exerts Hepatoprotective Effects through Ameliorating LPS/D-Gal-Induced Acute Liver Injury in Mice.
Article in Inflammation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
Acute liver injury (ALI) refers to abnormalities in liver function caused by various causes and accompanied by poor prognosis and high mortality. Common predisposing factors for the disease are viral hepatitis, bacteria, alcohol, and certain hepatotoxic drugs. Inflammatory response and oxidative stress are critical for the pathogenesis of ALI. Pterostilbene (Pte), a natural polyphenol product extracted from blueberries and grapes, has been reported that exerted multiple biological activities, including antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-apoptotic properties. However, there is very little data showing the hepatoprotective effect of Pte on lipopolysaccharide/D-galactosamine (LPS/D-Gal)-induced ALI in mice. In this study, the possible protective effect and potential mechanisms of Pte on ALI are being investigated. It has been found that Pte markedly ameliorates LPS/D-Gal-induced inflammatory infiltration, hemorrhage, and dissociation of the hepatic cord, reducing the myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in liver tissues and serum levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in ALI. Pte also inhibits LPS/D-Gal-induced secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) in liver tissues. Furthermore, the western blot analysis reveals that LPS/D-Gal-activated nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) is significantly inhibited by Pte, and nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) are upregulated by Pte. In conclusion, our results suggest that Pte exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects, which might contribute to ameliorating LPS/D-Gal-induced ALI in mice. Pte has the potential to be a preventive hepatoprotective agent.
