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

Acute hepatic damage is a severe condition characterized by inflammation and oxidative stress, which is a serious threat to people's life and health. But there are few effective treatments for acute liver injury. Therefore, safe and effective therapeutic approaches for preventing acute liver damage are urgently needed. Lupeol is a natural compound, which has significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in liver disease. However, the protective mechanism of lupeol against acute liver injury remains unclear. Here, zebrafish and mutant mice were utilized to investigate the protective effects of lupeol against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/ D-galactosamine(D-GalN) -induced liver injury and the underlying mechanisms. We found that pretreatment with lupeol attenuated the LPS/D-GalN-induced liver injury by decreasing the infiltration of inflammatory cells and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. We also demonstrated that lupeol could protect injured liver from oxidative stress by downregulating the expression of TGFβ1 and upregulating Nrf2. Notably, our experimental results provided the support that lupeol effectively protected against LPS/D-GalN-induced acute liver injury via suppression of inflammation response and oxidative stress, which were largely dependent on the upregulation of the Nrf2 pathway via downregulating TGFβ1.
