A modified kidney-sparing portal vein arterialization model of heterotopic auxiliary liver transplantation increases liver IL-6, TNF-α, and HGF levels and enhances liver regeneration: an animal model.

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
BACKGROUND AND
aimThe success of partial donor liver transplantation is affected by the implantation site of the donor liver and the vascular reconstruction approach. We investigated the effects of different donor liver implantation sites and vascular reconstruction approaches on liver regeneration using a rat kidney-sparing heterotopic auxiliary liver transplantation model, with portal vein arterialization (PVA).
methodsSixty male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent end-to-end anastomosis of the donor liver portal vein and the right renal artery stent (control group), or end-to-side anastomosis of the donor liver portal vein and the left common iliac artery (experimental group).
resultsThe experimental group had significantly lower plasma levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin, and cholinesterase than the control group (all, P < 0.05). The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in the liver were significantly higher in the experimental group than that in the control group (all, P < 0.05). Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining of the liver tissue specimens indicated that the experimental group had greater hepatocyte regeneration compared to the control group.
conclusionsThe modified kidney-sparing PVA model of heterotopic auxiliary liver transplantation is more conducive to liver regeneration with quicker return of liver function.
