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: Given the adverse effect of liver injury on a multitude of body functions, it is vital to understand its underlying mechanism and how to overcome it. In this study, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to induce liver injury, while sulforaphane (SFN), a natural phytochemical, was used as the antagonist to overcome the deleterious effect. Methods: Twenty-four mice were divided into three groups: Control group (0.9% saline), LPS induction group (0.75 mg/kg), and SFN treatment (25 mg/kg) followed by LPS induction group (0.75 mg/kg), all with access to food and water Results: SFN treatment significantly attenuated all tests compared to the induced liver injury by LPS where significant reduction was observed in the levels of hepatic function markers (AST and ALT), lipid peroxidation marker (MDA) as well as apoptosis marker (caspase-3) whereas a marked increase was observed for antioxidant activity markers (SOD, CAT, and GSH) and AMPK. Conclusion: These results indicate the protective effect of SFN as it re-instated the levels of antioxidation while decreasing the level of the biomarkers, which were significantly increased during liver injury induction by LPS.
