Mitochondrial dysfunction attenuates rapid regeneration in livers with toxin-induced fibrosis.

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
backgroundThe mechanism of associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS)-induced rapid liver regeneration remains poorly documented, especially in patients with fibrosis. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the underlying mechanism of ALPPS-induced accelerated regeneration in toxin-induced fibrosis models.
methodsThe ALPPS-induced regeneration model was established in livers with thioacetamide (TAA)-induced fibrosis to determine the regenerative pathways involved in rapid regeneration. Confirmatory experiments were performed in transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1)-treated AML12 cells and mice with carbon tetrachloride (CCl
resultsIn TAA-induced fibrotic mice, ALPPS-induced regeneration was significantly inferior to that of the control group (P=0.027 at day 2 and P<0.001 at day 7). Furthermore, mitochondria-associated genes were significantly downregulated in TAA-challenged mice. Accordingly, the reduced production of ATP and elevated levels of malondialdehyde indicated disturbances in intracellular energy metabolism during the ALPPS-induced regenerative process after TAA treatment. Further investigations were performed in TGF-β1-treated AML12 cells and CCl
conclusionsIn summary, this study revealed that mitochondrial dysfunction led to inferior regeneration in livers with toxin-induced fibrosis and identified new therapeutic targets to improve the feasibility and safety of the ALPPS procedure. Further studies in human patients are required in the future.
