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

Nuclear receptor Pregnane X Receptor (PXR; NR1I2) has transcriptional regulation functions for energy homeostasis in the liver. Mouse PXR has a conserved phosphorylation motif at serine 347 (serine 350 in humans) within the ligand-binding domain. PXR phosphorylated at this motif is expressed in mouse livers in response to fasting. Mice with a PXR∗Ser347Ala knockin mutation (PXR KI) were generated to block phosphorylation, and utilized to investigate the role of Ser347 phosphorylation in vivo. PXR KI mice had decreased body weight at 8-weeks of age and had much greater weight loss after fasting compared with PXR WT mice. The cDNA microarray analysis of hepatic mRNAs showed that cell death or apoptotic signaling was induced in fasting PXR KI mice. Moreover, increasing hepatic lipids, triglycerides and the development of hypertriglyceridemia were observed in fasting PXR KI mice. These findings are indicative that blocking phosphorylation prevents mice from maintaining hepatic energy homeostasis. Thus, phosphorylated PXR may be an essential factor to prevent the liver from developing damage caused by fasting.
