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

This study aims to investigate whether thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) regulates cell viability, cell apoptosis and mitochondrial damage in OGD/R-induced hepatocytes and to explore its underlying mechanism. AML12 cells were cultured under oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) conditions. TXNIP mRNA was detected using qRT-PCR, and the TXNIP protein was analyzed using western blotting. TXNIP-targeted short hairpin RNA (sh-TXNIP) lentivirus was used to infect the AML12 cells. CCK8 and TUNEL assays were applied to detect cell viability and apoptosis, respectively. DCFH-DA probe was used to determine reactive oxygen species (ROS) release level, and JC-1 probe was used to evaluate mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). The localization of TXNIP and HIF-1α was observed using immunofluorescence. Our results showed that TXNIP markedly increased in AML12 cells treated with OGD/R. TXNIP knockdown increased cell viability and reduced cell apoptosis under OGD/R treatment. Moreover, MMP significantly increased and ROS release decreased in cells after TXNIP knockdown under OGD/R treatment. Additionally, TXNIP knockdown markedly increased the expression of HIF-1α. HIF-1α exhibited nuclear translocation following OGD/R induction, and TXNIP knockdown further promoted it. Compared with the OGD/R + sh-TXNIP group, HIF-1α agonist ML228 inhibited cell apoptosis and ROS release, and increased MMP. However, HIF-1α inhibitor PX478 had the opposite effect. In summary, TXNIP deletion ameliorated AML12 cell injury caused by OGD/R via promoting HIF-1α expression and nuclear translocation, manifested by inhibiting cell apoptosis and alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction.
