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

Using a rat autologous orthotopic liver transplantation (AOLT) model and liver cold ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced intestinal injury, we clarified whether ferroptosis occurred in rat AOLT cold I/R-induced intestinal injury. Additionally, the role and possible mechanism of the ferroptosis activator sulfasalazine (SAS) in intestinal injury-induced ferroptosis in rats with AOLT liver cold I/R were investigated. Sixty specific pathogen free (SPF)-grade adult male Sprague‒Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 5 groups using the random number table method (n = 12). Six rats were randomly selected at 6 hour (h) and 24 h after I/R. Inferior vena cava blood specimens were collected from the portal vein (PV) opening at 6 h and 24 h. The concentrations of serum malondialdehyde (MDA), serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Ileal tissue was obtained from the PV opening in rats in each group at 6 h and 24 h, and ileal tissue sections were observed under light microscopy. The contents of intestinal MDA, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione(GSH), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and tissue iron were determined by ELISA, and the expression of GPX4 and the cysteine glutamate reverse transporter light chain protein (xCT) was determined by Western blot. The experimental results show that ferroptosis is involved in the pathophysiological process of intestinal injury induced by cold hepatic ischemia-reperfusion in AOLT rats. In addition, SAS (500 mg/kg) may inhibit the cystine/glutamate antiporters (System Xc¯)/GSH/GPX4 signal axis in intestinal injury induced by cold I/R in rat AOLT liver, or iron overload after reperfusion, causing a massive accumulation of L-ROS and activating cellular ferroptosis, further aggravate the intestinal injury.
