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

backgroundProgrammed cell death is an important mechanism for the development of hepatic ischemia and reperfusion (IR) injury, and multiple novel forms of programmed cell death are involved in the pathological process of hepatic IR. ERRFI1 is involved in the regulation of cell apoptosis in myocardial IR. However, the function of ERRFI1 in hepatic IR injury and its modulation of programmed cell death remain largely unknown.

methodsHere, we performed functional and molecular mechanism studies in hepatocyte-specific knockout mice and ERRFI1-silenced hepatocytes to investigate the significance of ERRFI1 in hepatic IR injury. The histological severity of livers, enzyme activities, hepatocyte apoptosis and ferroptosis were determined.

resultsERRFI1 expression increased in liver tissues from mice with IR injury and hepatocytes under oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) conditions. Hepatocyte-specific ERRFI1 knockout alleviated IR-induced liver injury in mice by reducing cell apoptosis and ferroptosis. ERRFI1 knockdown reduced apoptotic and ferroptotic hepatocytes induced by OGD/R. Mechanistically, ERRFI1 interacted with GRB2 to maintain its stability by hindering its proteasomal degradation. Overexpression of GRB2 abrogated the effects of ERRFI1 silencing on hepatocyte apoptosis and ferroptosis.

conclusionsOur results revealed that the ERRFI1-GRB2 interaction and GRB2 stability are essential for ERRFI1-regulated hepatic IR injury, indicating that inhibition of ERRFI1 or blockade of the ERRFI1-GRB2 interaction may be potential therapeutic strategies in response to hepatic IR injury.
