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

Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains a major limitation in liver surgery and transplantation. Amygdalin, a natural glycoside, is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective properties, but its combination with conventional agents is not studied. Accordingly, this study explores a combinatorial approach using a small dose of amygdalin (5 mg/kg) and low-dose infliximab (1.5 mg/kg), a tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitor, as a pre-treatment to alleviate I/R-induced liver injury. It also investigates the unexamined role of heat shock protein (HSP)-90 in the modulation of necro-inflammatory pathways during hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury. Rats were divided into six groups: sham, I/R, infliximab (1.5 and 3 mg/kg), amygdalin (5 mg/kg), and a combination of infliximab (1.5 mg/kg) with amygdalin. Treatments were administered intraperitoneally for three days before I/R induction. Both monotherapies and the combination significantly reduced hepatic expression of HSP90, TNF-α, and phosphorylated-mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (p-MLKL), while restoring oxidative balance as evidenced by modulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). The combination therapy additionally suppressed nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in a synergistic manner and enhanced Nrf2 expression compared to amygdalin monotherapy. Correlation analysis revealed strong associations between markers of necroinflammation and oxidative stress, reinforcing the mechanistic interplay between these pathways. HSP90 emerged in the current study as an intermediate modulator linking necroinflammation to oxidative responses. Importantly, the combined therapy exerted a synergistic effect by effectively modulating HSP90 and associated signaling cascades, underscoring its potential as a superior therapeutic strategy.
