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

Alcohol abuse results in alcoholic liver disease which are associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Whereas luteolin has shown potential hepatoprotective effects on ethanol-induced liver damage and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, a chronic plus a single binge ethanol feeding mouse model was employed to mimic acute-on-chronic alcoholic liver injury in humans, and the primary hepatocytes were isolated for the mechanism investigation. Our study demonstrated that luteolin protects against ethanol-induced liver injury by restoring NRF2 stability, thereby blocking the nuclear accumulation of ACSS2 and histone H3 acetylation. This subsequently led to reduced hepatic lipogenesis, and ultimately ameliorated alcoholic liver damage. Our findings elucidate the protective mechanism of luteolin in alcoholic liver injury and provide a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of alcoholic liver disease.
