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

objectivesHypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury is a critical pathological process during liver transplantation. Kazinol B has known anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and metabolic regulatory properties, but its protective mechanism in H/R-induced liver injury remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of Kazinol B in H/R-induced hepatocyte injury.

methodsAn ischemia-reperfusion model was established in healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, and an in vitro H/R model was created using cultured hepatocytes. Hepatocytes were treated with Kazinol B (0-100 μmol/L) to assess cytotoxicity and protective effects. Cell viability was evaluated using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assays. Expression of apoptosis-related proteins, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated death promoter (Bad), and cleaved caspase-3, was detected by Western blotting. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were assessed via fluorescence probes, and inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). TdT-mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining was performed to assess DNA damage and apoptosis.

resultsKazinol B had no significant effect on hepatocyte viability at 0-50 μmol/L, but showed cytotoxicity at 100 μmol/L (

conclusionsKazinol B mitigates hepatocyte injury induced by H/R by inhibiting the JNK signaling pathway. Its protective effect is associated with suppression of oxidative stress and inflammation, indicating its potential as a hepatoprotective agent.
