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

Lytic cell death pathways drive hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). The transmembrane protein ninjurin-1 (NINJ1) aggregates in the plasma membrane to permeabilize the cell during multiple cell death pathways implicated in hepatic IRI. We hypothesized that NINJ1 mediates liver IRI and that its inhibition would mitigate injury. We found that NINJ1 is highly expressed in human liver tissue and that its up-regulation and activation correlate with early allograft dysfunction in liver transplant patients. Using a segmental hepatic IRI model in mice and rats,
