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

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is the primary cause of drug‑induced acute liver failure in numerous Western countries. NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation serves a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of various forms of acute liver injury. However, the cellular source for NLRP3 induction and its involvement during APAP‑induced hepatotoxicity have not been thoroughly investigated. In the present study, hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed to assess histopathological changes of liver tissue. Immunohistochemistry staining(NLRP3, Caspase‑1, IL‑1β, GSDMD and Caspase‑3), western blotting (NLRP3, Caspase‑1, IL‑1β, GSDMD and Caspase‑3) and RT‑qPCR (NLRP3, Caspase‑1 and IL‑1β) were performed to assess the expression of NLRP3/GSDMD signaling pathway. TUNEL staining was performed to assess apoptosis of liver tissue. The serum expression levels of inflammatory factors (IL‑6, IL‑18, IL‑1β and TNF‑α) were assessed using ELISA and inflammation of liver tissue was assessed using immunohistochemistry (Ly6G and CD68) and RT‑qPCR (TNF‑α, Il‑6, Mcp‑1, Cxcl‑1, Cxcl‑2). A Cell Counting Kit‑8 was performed to assess cell viability and apoptosis. Protein and gene expression were analyzed by western blotting (PCNA, CCND1) and RT‑qPCR (
