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

Oxidative stress driven by malfunctioning respiratory complex I (RC-I) is a crucial pathogenic factor in liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This study investigated the role of alkaline ceramidase 3 (ACER3) and its unsaturated long-chain ceramide (CER) substrates in regulating liver I/R injury through RC-I. Our findings demonstrated that I/R upregulated ACER3 and decreased unsaturated long-chain CER levels in human and mouse livers. Both global and hepatocyte-specific Acer3 ablation, as well as treatment with CER(d18:1/18:1), led to a significant increase in CER(d18:1/18:1) levels in the liver, which mitigated the I/R-induced hepatocyte damage and inflammation in mice. Mechanistically, ACER3 modulated CER(d18:1/18:1) levels in mitochondria-associated membranes and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), thereby influencing the transport of CER(d18:1/18:1) from the ER to mitochondria. Acer3 ablation and CER(d18:1/18:1) treatment elevated CER(d18:1/18:1) in mitochondria, where CER(d18:1/18:1) bound to the RC-I subunit NDUFA6 to inactivate RC-I and reduced reactive oxygen species production in the I/R-injured mouse liver. These findings underscore the role of the CER(d18:1/18:1)-NDUFA6 interaction in suppressing RC-I-mediated oxidative-stress-driven pathogenesis in liver I/R injury.
