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: Diquat (DQ), a widely used bipyridyl herbicide, induces acute liver injury primarily through oxidative stress, and effective targeted therapies remain lacking. Methods: A DQ-induced acute liver injury model was established in C57BL/6 mice with LGG pretreatment and Nrf2 inhibitor (ML385) intervention. Liver function, histopathology, oxidative stress markers, and Nrf2/HO-1 expression were assessed. Results: DQ exposure markedly elevated ALT and AST levels, aggravated hepatic necrosis and inflammation, increased ROS and MDA levels, decreased SOD and GSH-Px activities, and suppressed Nrf2 and HO-1 expression. LGG pretreatment significantly alleviated liver injury and oxidative stress while restoring Nrf2/HO-1 expression. ML385 partially attenuated the protective effects of LGG. Conclusion: LGG mitigates DQ-induced acute liver injury by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and reducing oxidative stress, while 5-MIAA may represent a potential bioactive compound with similar hepatoprotective effects. These findings provide mechanistic support for probiotic-based strategies in toxicant-induced liver injury.
