Induction of Obstructive Cholestasis in Mice.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Experimental bile duct ligation (BDL) in rodents causes cholestatic liver injury characterized by structural and functional alterations that include periportal biliary fibrosis. These changes are time-dependent and based on excess accumulation of bile acids in the liver. This in turn causes damage of hepatocytes and functional loss, leading to recruitment of inflammatory cells. Liver resident pro-fibrogenic cells facilitate extracellular matrix synthesis and remodeling. The proliferation of bile duct epithelial cells provokes a ductular reaction characterized by bile duct hyperplasia. Experimental BDL surgery is technically simple and quick to perform and reliably generates progressive liver damage with a predictable kinetics. The cellular, structural, and functional alterations induced in this model are similar to that in humans suffering from diverse forms of cholestasis including primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) or primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Therefore, this extrahepatic biliary obstruction model is used in many laboratories worldwide. Nevertheless, BDL can result in significant variations and high mortality rates when surgery is carried out by untrained or inexperienced personnel. Here we present a detailed protocol to achieve a robust experimental obstructive cholestasis in mice.
