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

backgroundDichloroacetate (DCA), a pan-pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase inhibitor, ameliorates multiple pathological conditions and tissue injury and shows strong potential for clinical applications. Here, we investigated the preventive effects of DCA in a murine model of alcohol-associated liver disease.

methodsC57BL/6J mice were subjected to the acute-on-chronic model of alcohol-associated liver disease and treated with DCA. Livers were assessed in liver histology, biochemistry, and gene expression. Mass spectrometry was used to compare protein expression and metabolite levels.

resultsDCA inhibited hepatic expression of inflammatory genes but did not prevent steatosis and hepatocellular injury in ethanol-fed mice. Consistently, DCA repressed the expression of mRNAs for inflammatory genes in LPS-stimulated murine bone-marrow-derived macrophages and human monocytic THP-1 cells and inhibited both gene expression and protein release of interleukin-1 beta. DCA prevented hepatic accumulation of isovaleric acid in ethanol-fed mice, a short-chain fatty acid primarily produced by gut microbiota. In vitro, isovaleric acid potentiated LPS's effects, while DCA prevented this proinflammatory action. Ethanol feeding increased the expression of proteins involved in diverse metabolic pathways, including branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) degradation. In ethanol-fed mice, hepatic Fischer's ratio (the molar ratio of BCAAs to aromatic amino acids Phe and Tyr) and BTR (the molar ratio of BCAAs to Tyr) showed a decrease compared to pair-fed mice; however, this decrease was not observed in DCA-treated ethanol-fed mice. DCA blunted the ethanol-induced increase of BCKDHA, the rate-limiting enzyme in BCAA catabolism, and cytochrome P450 2E1.

conclusionsEthanol-induced hepatic inflammatory responses and metabolic disturbances were prevented by DCA in mice, indicating the potential to develop pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase inhibitors as an effective therapy to treat alcohol-associated liver disease.
