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

Objective: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a group of chronic liver diseases and caused by acute internal and external liver injury. Wenyang Huazhuo Tuihuang (WYHZTH) formula had a good clinical effect on promoting the resolution of jaundice. The aim of this study is to further investigate the mechanism of the WYHZTH formula in the ACLF rat model. Methods: The ACLF rat model was constructed by combining human serum albumin with LPS and D-gal. WYHZTH was used to intervene and treat. The cytokines IL-17, IL-23, IL-10, and TGF- Results: Compared with the ACLF group, the WYHZTH formula and Thy significantly decreased the levels of ALT, AST, and CHE in the ACLF group. After drug intervention, apoptosis was significantly reduced. The PCNA expression decreased in the ACLF model group but increased in the WYHZTH or Thy group. Under transmission electron microscope, hepatocytes in the ACLF group showed obvious necrosis. After drug intervention, hepatocyte necrosis was reduced with most of the structure returning to normal. Conclusion: This present study demonstrated that WYHZTH formula may protect against acute-on-chronic liver failure, which may be related to the inhibition of Th17/Treg cell imbalance.
