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

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the improvement effect of Sini Decoction plus Ginseng Soup (SNRS) on the LPS/D-GalN-induced acute liver failure (ALF) mouse model and the molecular mechanism of the SNRS effect. Methods: To study the protective effect of SNRS on ALF mice, the ICR mice were firstly divided into 4 groups: Control group (vehicle-treated), Model group (LPS/D-GalN), SNRS group (LPS/D-GalN+SNRS), and Silymarin group (LPS/D-GalN+Silymarin), the therapeutic drug was administered by gavage 48h, 24h before, and 10 min after LPS/D-GalN injection. On this basis, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) α agonist (WY14643) and inhibitor (GW6471) were added to verify whether the therapeutic mechanism of SNRS is related to its promoting effect on PPARα. The animals are grouped as follows: Control group (vehicle-treated), Model group (LPS/D-GalN+DMSO), SNRS group (LPS/D-GalN+SNRS+DMSO), Inhibitor group (LPS/D-GalN+GW6471), Agonist group (LPS/D-GalN+WY14643), and Inhibitor+SNRS group (LPS/D-GalN+GW6471+SNRS). Results: The protective effect of SNRS on the ALF model is mainly reflected in the reduction of serum alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransaminase (AST) as well as the ameliorated pathology of the liver tissue. The survival rate of ALF mice treated with SNRS was significantly increased. Further mechanism studies showed that SNRS significantly promoted the protein expression of PPARα and decreased the expression of necroptosis proteins (RIP3, MLKL, p-MLKL) in ALF mice. Reduced necroptosis resulted in decreased HMGB1 release, which in turn inhibited the activation of TLR4-JNK and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathways and the expression of NF-κB protein induced by LPS/D-GalN. The expression of CPT1A, a key enzyme involved in fatty acid β-oxidation, was found to be significantly up-regulated in the SNRS treated group, accompanied by an increased adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) level, which may be the relevant mechanism by which SNRS reduces necroptosis. Conclusion: The potential therapeutic effect of SNRS on ALF may be through promoting the expression of PPARα and increasing the level of ATP in liver tissue, thereby inhibiting necroptosis of hepatocytes, reducing hepatocyte damage, and improving liver function.
