Toll-like Receptor 4 Inhibitor TAK-242 Improves Fulminant Hepatitis by Regulating Accumulation of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cell.
Article in Inflammation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Fulminant hepatitis (FH) is an acute clinical disease with a poor prognosis and high mortality rate. The purpose of this study was to determine the protective effect of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) inhibitor TAK-242 on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced explosive hepatitis and explore in vivo and in vitro mechanisms. Mice were pretreated with TAK-242 for 3 h prior to LPS (10 μg/kg)/D-GalN (250 mg/kg) administration. Compared to the LPS/D-GalN group, the TAK-242 pretreatment group showed significantly prolonged survival, reduced serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels, relieved oxidative stress, and reduced inflammatory interleukin (IL)-6, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor-α levels. In addition, TAK-242 increased the accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Next, mice were treated with an anti-Gr-1 antibody to deplete MDSCs, and adoptive transfer experiments were performed. We found that TAK-242 protected against FH by regulating MDSCs. In the in vitro studies, TAK-242 regulated the accumulation of MDSCs and promoted the release of immunosuppressive inflammatory cytokines. In addition, TAK-242 inhibited protein expression of nuclear factor-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. In summary, TAK-242 had a hepatoprotective effect against LPS/D-GalN-induced explosive hepatitis in mice. Its protective effect may be involved in suppressing inflammation, reducing oxidative stress, and increasing the proportion of MDSCs.
