TWEAK promotes inflammatory response in liver fibrosis.
Article in Journal of biochemical and molecular toxicology, 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
This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) in liver fibrosis. The liver Kupffer cells (KCs) and mononuclear macrophages (J774A.1) were used as the objects of study to induce M1 polarization with LPS/IFN-γ. After TWEAK intervention, the M1 cell proportion and marker cytokine levels were detected. Thereafter, CD266 expression was silenced, and NLRP3 expression was inhibited by the NLRP3 inhibitor, so as to investigate the impact of TWEAK on M1 polarization of KCs. In addition, the mouse model of liver fibrosis was constructed to observe the influence of TWEAK on mouse liver fibrosis. According to our results, TWEAK promoted M1 polarization of liver KCs and J774A.1 cells, and silencing CD266 expression or treatment with the NLRP3 inhibitor suppressed the effect of TWEAK. In the mouse experiment, it was discovered that after knocking down NLRP3 expression or using NLRP3 inhibitor to antagonize the effect of TWEAK, the mouse liver function and M1 cell level in liver tissues were improved.
