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

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a considerable and potentially severe adverse reaction to medications. As drug abuse continues to rise, managing drug-induced liver toxicity has become a considerable challenge for clinicians. Depression is a chronic neurological disorder with a rising incidence globally in recent years, adding to the overall societal burden. Numerous clinical studies have suggested a link between DILI and mental illnesses, with inflammation potentially playing a mediating role. However, the exact mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we established a mouse model of DILI through acetaminophen (APAP) exposure and assessed the correlation between mental disorder and NLRP3 inflammasome. We found that DILI mice exhibited anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors, along with disrupted blood-brain barrier integrity and a significant increase in hippocampal NLRP3 inflammasome levels.
