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

backgroundHepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a major challenge in liver transplantation (LTx) and hepatectomy. Previous studies identified a 12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX)-driven lipid peroxidation cascade promoting cell death, whereas glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4)-dependent metabolism acts antagonistically. This study investigated whether tacrolimus protects against hepatic IRI through this redox axis.

methodsMale

resultsTacrolimus increased the oxidative glutathione activity quotient (GSSG/GSH) by 75.1% (

conclusionsTacrolimus preconditioning mitigates hepatic IRI through a glutathione-linked redox-signaling-cell death axis and exerts cytoprotective effects beyond immunosuppression.
