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

Collagen β (1‑O) galactosyltransferase 1 (GLT25D1) has been reported to transfer galactose to hydroxylysine residues via β (1‑O) linkages in collagen. The present study investigated the function of the collagen galactosyltransferase activity of GLT25D1 against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)‑induced acute liver injury in vitro. Glt25d1+/‑ mice and wild‑type (WT) mice were injected intraperitoneally with the same dose of CCl4. The grade of hepatic injury and the extent of hepatocyte necrosis in the acute phase were assessed 48 h following CCl4 injection. Hepatocyte necrosis was evaluated by histological examination and by serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels, which were higher in the Glt25d1+/‑ mice compared with those in the WT mice. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed, and the results demonstrated that the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor‑α and interleukin‑6 were significantly increased in the Glt25d1+/‑ mice. Furthermore, western blot analyses were performed, and the results demonstrated that the protein levels of cleaved caspase‑3 and ‑9 were also markedly increased in the Glt25d1+/‑ liver, indicating that hepatocyte apoptosis was induced. Additionally, the expression levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)‑β1 and phosphorylated small mothers against decapentaplegic (Smad)2 were markedly upregulated, indicating activation of the TGF‑β1/Smad2 signaling pathway during CCl4‑induced acute liver injury in Glt25d1+/‑ mice. CCl4 administration also resulted in severe damage to Glt25d1+/‑ primary hepatocytes in vitro. Taken together, the downregulation of Glt25d1 deteriorated CCl4‑induced liver injury in mice, which may involve triggering inflammatory responses, apoptosis and TGF‑β1/Smad2 signaling pathway activation.
