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

Purpose: To explore the therapeutic effects of gracillin on liver ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Methods: The effects of gracillin on mouse liver function were evaluated by pathological analysis and measurement of serum biochemical indicators including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). In addition, apoptosis-related gene expression levels were assessed using quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting. The following oxidative stress related indices were detected by reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) content. An H Results: Gracillin protected against IR-induced liver dysfunction. Gracillin pretreatment significantly inhibited pathological liver damages and decreased serum ALT, AST, ALP, and LDH levels. Gracillin pretreatment increased the mRNA and protein levels of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2, while reducing those of pro-apoptotic factor Bax mRNA and protein levels. Additionally, H Conclusion: These results provide evidences that gracillin exerts beneficial effects against liver dysfunction during liver IR. The mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects may be suppression of oxidative stress and apoptosis via the Akt/GSK3β signaling pathway activation. These results suggest that a potential therapeutic role for gracillin in protecting against liver IR injury.
