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

BACKGROUND &

aimsThe liver has remarkable regenerative and detoxification capacities, which require the Nrf2 and NF-κB transcription factors. Although their individual functions in hepatocytes are well characterized, knowledge about their crosstalk in the adult liver is limited.

methodsWe performed AAV8-Cre inducible, hepatocyte-specific knockout of Nrf2, the NF-κB subunit p65, or both genes to determine the individual and combined roles of these transcription factors in the intact liver of male adult mice and after acute CCl

resultsLoss of p65 alone or p65 in combination with Nrf2 caused spontaneous liver inflammation and necrosis. Gene expression profiling identified individual and common target genes of both transcription factors, including genes involved in the control of cell proliferation. Consistent with the expression of these genes, hepatocyte proliferation was reduced by Nrf2 deficiency under homeostatic conditions and after CCl

conclusionsThese results reveal a crosstalk between Nrf2 and p65 in the control of hepatocyte proliferation and point to a key role of macrophages in this effect.
