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

Background: N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP) overdose remains a leading cause of acute liver failure worldwide. The aril extracts derived from Gac ( Purpose: This study investigated the hepatoprotective potential of MC in a mouse model of APAP-induced acute liver injury and characterized its bioactive compounds. Methods: MC was prepared using aqueous extraction. Mice were pre-treated with either 500 or 1,000 mg/kg of MC for seven consecutive days prior to intraperitoneal administration of APAP 300 mg/kg to induce hepatotoxicity. Serum and liver samples were then collected to analyze biochemical changes, histopathological changes, oxidative stress markers, and/or mRNA expression. Standard chemical tests were used to identify bioactive compounds. Results: APAP administration caused a marked rise in liver enzymes, extensive histological necrosis, suppression of hepatocyte proliferation, infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages, and significant oxidative damage ( Conclusion: MC exhibits hepatoprotective effects against APAP-induced liver injury through multifaceted modulation of toxic metabolism (CYP2E1), cell death and ER stress (JNK, Ddit3, Bax, Casp3, and Bcl-2), antioxidant response (Nrf2 pathway), inflammation (NF-κB pathway and IL-10), tissue repair (VEGF), and glucose metabolism (AdipoR1, GLUT-2, and PEPCK).
