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: Cirrhosis is a disease with poor prognosis that requires the development of a novel therapeutic approach alternative to liver transplantation. In this study, we focused on the placenta and aimed to clarify the effects of human placental extract (HPE) on cirrhosis. Methods: A mouse model of carbon tetrachloride-induced cirrhosis was used to evaluate the effect of HPE administration subcutaneously and compared with the control group (n = 8 for each group). In vitro and Results: HPE administration improved serum ALT levels compared to control mice. Furthermore, there was a decrease in the number of senescent cells in the liver and the mRNA levels of secrete senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors Conclusions: HPE improves serum ALT levels via anti-inflammatory mechanisms in macrophages and senescent cells. HPE serves as a novel agent for cirrhosis treatment.
