Phellinus linteus polysaccharides mediates acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity via activating AMPK/Nrf2 signaling pathways.
Article in Aging, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Overdose of acetaminophen (APAP) is currently one of the main causes of hepatoxicity and acute liver injury, which is often linked to oxidative stress. Phellinus linteus polysaccharides (Phps) have shown many hepatoprotective effects, however, the mechanism of Phps on APAP-induced acute liver injury has not been further elucidated. The aim of this study is to investigate the underlying mechanism of Phps to acute liver injury. The expression of AMPK/Nrf2 and autophagy were detected using western blot. The results indicated that Phps treatment effectively alleviated APAP-induced acute liver injury by reducing alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in serum. Phps significantly attenuated myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and glutathione (GSH) depletion. Meanwhile, Phps remarkably alleviated histopathological changes. Further research found that Phps promoted AMPK pathway and up-regulated nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor (Nrf2) transported into nucleus, and elevated heme oxygenase 1(HO-1), glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic (GCLC), glutamate cysteine ligase modifier (GCLM) and quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1). Additionally, Phps apparently facilitated the expression of autophagy proteins (ATG3, ATG5, ATG7, and ATG12). However, the protection of pathologic changes was nearly absent in Nrf2
