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

Introduction: Oxidative stress is an important cause of acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury (AILI). Sakuranetin (Sak) is an antitoxin from the cherry flavonoid plant with good antioxidant effects. However, whether sakuranetine has a protective effect on APAP-induced liver injury is not clear. Methods: Mouse and HepG2 cell models of APAP injury were used to investigate the effect of sakuranetin on AILI and its mechanism. Serum transaminase levels, histological changes, inflammatory mediators, oxidative stress, ferroptosis-related markers and Nrf2 signaling pathway proteins were analyzed. Results: Sakuranetin significantly reduced serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), as well as inflammatory factor; increased HepG2 activity and decreased cell death; inhibited ROS production, increased glutathione (GSH) content, expression of Glutathione Peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 11 (SLC7A11), and decreased malondialdehyde and Acyl-CoA Synthetase Long Chain Family Member 4 (ACSL4) expression in mice and HepG2 cells after APAP treatment. Further analysis showed that sakuranetin induced the activation of the NFE2 Like BZIP Transcription Factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway in liver tissue and HepG2 cells and promoted the nuclear translocation of Nrf2. Moreover, the hepatoprotective effect of sakuranetin and its inhibitory effect on ferroptosis were significantly attenuated by the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385. Conclusion: Sakuranetin alleviates AILI by activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway and inhibiting ferroptosis, and sakuranetin may be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of AILI.
