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

aimTo investigate the relationship between the intrahepatic expression of podoplanin (PDPN) and Kupffer cells (KCs) in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) liver damage.

methodsC57Bl/6 mice were injected with 200 µl of clodronate liposomes (macrophage depletion; MDP group) to deplete KCs or control liposomes (control group) via the ophthalmic vein plexus 24 h prior to ischemia. Animals were subjected to 90 min of partial hepatic ischemia (70%), followed by reperfusion, and were then killed at designated time points. Serum and liver tissues were harvested for further analyses.

resultsSerum ALT levels, mortality rates, and the percentage of necrotic area in liver sections were significantly higher in the MDP group than in the control group. PDPN was expressed in the lymphatic epithelium, interlobular bile duct epithelium, and in some hepatocytes in each group. Its expression in hepatocytes was down-regulated in the MDP group. The accumulation of platelets in the sinusoid was reduced 6 h after I/R in the MDP group. Tissue HGF and IGF-1 levels decreased in the MDP group.

conclusionsThese results suggest that KCs play a key role in the activation of platelets through direct contact with PDPN-positive hepatocytes in I/R livers.
