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

backgroundIn the context of hepatobiliary and liver transplant surgery, ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury can occur due to temporary interruption of blood flow to the organ followed by a potentially damaging inflammatory response to reperfusion. Macrophages can drive inflammation in response to injury, but they can also promote liver growth and resolution of chronic liver injury and fibrosis. In chronic liver injury models in mice, macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF)1 stimulates pro-regenerative macrophages.

aimTo determine whether stimulation of macrophages with macrophage CSF could promote liver repair after I/R injury.

methodsWe investigated the impact of perisurgical treatment with a long-circulating CSF1-Fc conjugate on liver injury and hepatocyte proliferation after 70% ischemia for 60 minutes at 6 hours, 48 hours and 7 days post reperfusion in rats. Circulating and liver tissue monocyte and macrophage subsets in the ischaemic and oxygenated lobes were assessed using quantitative PCR and flow cytometry.

resultsCSF1-Fc treatment did not affect the extent of hepatocellular injury post-reperfusion, as indicated by serum transaminases. Liver I/R injury, especially necrotic area, was reduced in CSF1-Fc-treated rats 48 h post-surgery. This was associated with increased accumulation of macrophages in both the oxygenated and ischemic lobes (ILs), and peri-necrotic zone localization in the IL. CSF1-Fc treatment also promoted liver growth, associated with increased parenchymal and non-parenchymal cell proliferation. CSF1-Fc increased the abundance of CD43+ non-classical monocytes, consistent with the role of CSF1 signaling in monocyte maturation, and increased CD163 expression on mature macrophages.

conclusionThis study suggests CSF1 stimulation drives monocytes/macrophages towards a pro-regenerative response and perisurgical CSF1 treatment might augment liver regeneration in patients undergoing liver resection.
