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

Autophagy is an intracellular degradation system that generates autophagosomes. Autophagy was investigated in rat hepatic lesions induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of D-galactosamine (D-GalN) that can induce hepatic lesions mimicking human viral hepatitis. Lesions consisting of hepatocyte necrosis were sporadically seen within hepatic lobules on post-injection days 1 and 2, and recovered on days 3 and 5. The number of LC3B-immunopositive cytoplasmic granules (autophagosomes) increased significantly in hepatocytes on days 1 and 2 with increased Toll-like Receptor-2 (TLR-2) mRNA. Interestingly, there were some abnormal autophagosomes with vacuolated or irregular structures, being related to decreased mRNA level of Lamp2 at 8 hr and on days 2-5. These results indicated that autophagy may participate in the development of D-GalN-induced rat acute liver lesions through its activation or degradation.
