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

backgroundCell pyroptosis has a strong proinflammatory effect, but it is unclear whether pyroptosis of liver macrophages exacerbates liver tissue damage during liver ischemia‒reperfusion (I/R) injury. Maresin1 (MaR1) has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, and whether it can suppress liver macrophage pyroptosis needs further study.

methodsThis study aimed to investigate whether MaR1 can alleviate liver I/R injury by inhibiting macrophage pyroptosis. The effects of MaR1 on cell pyroptosis and mitochondrial damage were studied by dividing cells into control, hypoxia/reoxygenation, and hypoxia/reoxygenation + MaR1 groups. Knocking out RORa was used to study the mechanism by which MaR1 exert its protective effects. Transcriptome analysis, qRT‒PCR and Western blotting were used to analyze gene expression. Untargeted metabolomics techniques were used to analyze metabolite profiles in mice. Flow cytometry was used to assess cell death and mitochondrial damage.

resultsWe first found that MaR1 significantly reduced liver I/R injury. We observed that MaR1 decreased liver I/R injury by inhibiting liver macrophage pyroptosis. Then, we discovered that MaR1 promotes mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, increases the synthesis of ATP, reduces the generation of ROS, decreases the impairment of mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibits the opening of mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pores. MaR1 inhibits liver macrophage pyroptosis by protecting mitochondria. Finally, we found that MaR1 exerts mitochondrial protective effects through activation of its nuclear receptor RORa and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

conclusionsDuring liver I/R injury, MaR1 can reduce liver macrophage pyroptosis by reducing mitochondrial damage, thereby reducing liver damage.
