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

Background: Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a major cause of liver dysfunction after hepatectomy and liver transplantation and involves inflammatory, oxidative, mitochondrial, and metabolic disturbances. Although inflammatory and oxidative mechanisms have been extensively studied, metabolic alterations during HIRI remain less well characterized. This study investigated changes in propanoate metabolism during HIRI and evaluated the effects of vitamin B12 (VB12). Methods: Transcriptomic and single-cell transcriptomic data from mouse HIRI models and human liver transplantation were integrated with in vivo experiments and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) experiments in AML12 cells to examine changes in propanoate metabolism and the effects of VB12 treatment. Results: Propanoate metabolism was markedly suppressed during HIRI, with a similar reduction observed in hepatocytes from human liver transplantation data. VB12 treatment reduced H/R and HIRI induced injury and inflammatory responses in vitro and in vivo. Transcriptomic analysis showed recovery of propanoate metabolism-related pathways after VB12 treatment. Among the candidate genes identified within this pathway, Conclusion: Hepatocyte propanoate metabolism is markedly suppressed during HIRI. VB12 restores propanoate metabolism and Mmut expression, improves mitochondrial function, and alleviates HIRI. These findings identify
