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

Objectives: Chronic liver disease and related complications, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, are associated with high mortality. Curative treatments, partial hepatectomy or liver transplantation, have limited applicability in patients with cirrhosis due to the poor liver regenerative capacity. Thus, we need to find new diagnostic and therapeutic alternatives, to block the disease progression and to improve the survival of patients. In this context, preclinical studies have demonstrated the key role of the protein kinase B (Akt) in liver dysfunction, but the status of Akt and its targets in patients with chronic hepatopathy remains unknown. Aims: To determine the activation status of the Akt pathway and their association with liver functionality in cirrhotic patients. Methods: This retrospective study includes liver tissue samples from 36 hepatectomized patients with (n=27) and without (n=9) cirrhosis. Multiplex analysis of proteins involved in the Akt/mTOR pathway was performed using a Luminex panel and Western blot. Conventional liver function tests were determined in serum before resection surgery. Results: Akt and forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) are overexpressed in the liver of cirrhotic patients: (2.1 vs. 1.0 densitometric relative units (DRU); p<0.01, and 9.5 vs Conclusions: The intrahepatic expression of FoxO1 could have clinical utility as a potential prognostic marker for patients with advanced liver disease.
