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

objectiveTo investigate the efficacy of Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) on radiation-induced liver inflammation in mice.

methodsThe mice were divided into normal group, dimethyl sulfoxide solvent group, irradiation group (IR), irradiation + AS-IV (20 mg/kg) group (IR+AS-20) and irradiation + AS-IV (40 mg/kg) group (IR+AS-40). One month after intraperitoneal injection of AS-IV, the mice were irradiated with 8Gry Co60γ, the blood was collected for biochemical analysis, and the liver was collected for hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunofluorescence and electron microscopic observation, oxidative stress, and Western blot analysis.

resultsThe AS-IV treatment significantly ameliorated the pathological morphology of liver and reduced the alanine aminotransferase and aspertate amino-transferase levels in serum induced by radiation; AS-IV treatment also significantly reduced the expression of inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 6 and antagonized malonaldehyde content and superoxide dismutase activity in liver caused by radiation; in addition, AS-IV treatment can significantly inhibited the positive expression of thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) and nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in liver tissue after radiation; The expression of TXNIP, NLRP3 inflammasome, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD, cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase 1 and interleukin 1beta in the AS-IV prevention group decreased significantly compared to the radiation group.

conclusionsThese findings suggested that Co60γ radiation can cause structural and functional damage to the liver, which may be related to the NLRP3 mediated inflammatory pathway; AS-IV may play a protective role by inhibiting the TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway in the radiation-induced liver injury model.
