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

Fulminant hepatitis (FH) is a major cause of acute liver failure. Concanavalin A (ConA) belongs to the lectin family and is frequently used as an inducer of FH in animal models. ConA induced FH is characterized by massive accumulation of T lymphocytes in the liver. A host of chemoattractive substances are known to promote T cell homing to the liver during acute hepatitis. Here we investigated the involvement of Brahma-related gene 1 (BRG1), a chromatin remodeling protein, in FH. BRG1-flox mice were crossed to Alb-Cre mice to generate hepatocyte conditional BRG1 knockout (LKO) mice. The mice were peritoneally injected with a single dose of ConA to induce FH. BRG1 deficiency mitigated ConA-induced FH in mice. Consistently, there were fewer T lymphocyte infiltrates in the LKO livers compared to the wild type (WT) livers paralleling downregulation of T cell specific cytokines. Further analysis revealed that BRG1 deficiency repressed the expression of several chemokines critical for T cell homing including nephronectin (Npnt). BRG1 knockdown blocked the induction of Npnt in hepatocytes and attenuated T lymphocyte migration
