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

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose has been considered responsible for the drug-induced liver injury for many years. Ferroptosis is defined as an iron-dependent form of cell death associated with lipid peroxide accumulation. Ferroptosis is involved in APAP-induced acute liver failure, and UTI is an effective drug treatment for acute liver failure. Thus, we aimed to determine whether UTI protects the liver against APAP-induced acute liver failure by decreasing ferroptosis-induced lipid peroxide accumulation. C57BL/6 mice and LO2 cell line were treated with UTI before and after the exposure to APAP. Liver tissues and LO2 cells were collected for biochemical assessment of molecular parameters. APAP-induced upregulation of ferroptotic events (iron content), lipid hydroperoxides (ROS production, MDA, and 4-HNE), and depletion of GSH were effectively relieved by ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), a ferroptosis inhibitor, and UTI. UTI blocked ferroptosis-induced lipid peroxide accumulation by promoting nuclear translocation of NRF2 to activate its downstream targets (HO-1). An increased expression or knockdown of of SIRT1 influenced the UTI effect on the NRF2 pathway and had an impact on lipid accumulation. Overall, UTI plays a role in mitigation of APAP-induced acute liver injury by inhibiting ferroptosis-induced lipid peroxide accumulation, and the effect of UT1 was mediated by the NRF2/HO-1 pathway and SIRT1 expression.
