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

Aims and objectives: Sepsis-associated liver injury is a common public health problem in intensive care units. Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is an active component extracted from the Chinese herb Methods: Male C57BL/6 wild-type mice (6-8 week-old) were intraperitoneally injected with 10 mg/kg LPS for 24 h and AS-IV (80 mg/kg) 2 h before the LPS injection. Biochemical and histopathological analyses were carried out to assess liver injury. The RT-qPCR analyzed the mRNA expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6. The mRNA and protein expression of SIRT1, nuclear Nrf2, Nrf2, and HO-1 were measured by Western blotting. Results: Serum alanine/aspartate aminotransferases (ALT/AST) analysis, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) were showed that AS-IV protected against LPS-induced hepatotoxicity. The protection afforded by AS-IV was confirmed by pathological examination of the liver. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin- 1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin 6 (IL-6), were observed to be reversed by AS-IV after exposure to LPS. Western blot analysis demonstrated that AS-IV enhanced the expression levels of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1). Conclusions: AS-IV protects against LPS-induced Liver Injury and Inflammation by modulating Nrf2-mediated oxidative stress and NLRP3-mediated inflammation.
