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

objectiveTo study the effect of mogroside VI (MVI) on acute liver injury induced by sepsis in mice and its possible mechanisms. Methods A total of 60 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into five groups: sham-operation, model, low-dose MVI (25 mg/kg), high-dose MVI (100 mg/kg), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) inhibitor (100 mg/kg MVI+30 mg/kg PGC-1α inhibitor SR-18292), with 12 mice in each group. Cecal ligation and puncture were performed to establish a mouse model of sepsis. The drugs were given by intraperitoneal injection after the model was established, once a day for 3 consecutive days. ELISA was used to measure the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Colorimetry was used to measure the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in liver tissue. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe liver histopathological changes. Liver mitochondrial respiratory function was measured, and mitochondrial respiratory control rate was calculated. RT-PCR was used to measure the copy number of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in liver tissue and the mRNA expression levels of PGC-1α, nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF-1), and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) in liver tissue. Western blot was used to measure the protein expression levels of PGC-1α, NRF-1, and TFAM in liver tissue.

resultsCompared with the sham-operation group, the model group had significant increases in the serum levels of ALT and AST and the content of MDA in liver tissue (P<0.05) and significant reductions in the activities of GSH-Px and SOD in liver tissue (P<0.05). The model group had also severe liver histopathological injury and significant reductions in the mitochondrial respiratory control rate, the copy number of mtDNA, and the mRNA and protein expression levels of PGC-1α, NRF-1, and TFAM in liver tissue (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the high-dose group had significant reductions in the serum levels of ALT and AST and the content of MDA in liver tissue (P<0.05), significant increases in the activities of GSH-Px and SOD in liver tissue (P<0.05), significant improvement in liver histopathological injury, and significant increases in the mitochondrial respiratory control rate, the copy number of mtDNA, and the mRNA and protein expression levels of PGC-1α, NRF-1, and TFAM in liver tissue (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the above indicators between the low-dose and model groups (P>0.05). The PGC-1α inhibitor SR-18292 significantly inhibited the intervention effect of high-dose MVI (P<0.05).

conclusionsMVI can effectively alleviate acute liver injury caused by sepsis in mice, possibly by enhancing mitochondrial biosynthesis mediated by PGC-1α.
