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

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-threatening clinical syndrome with a substantial risk of mortality. A murine model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- and D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced ALF is widely used to investigate the underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic drugs for human liver failure. Atractylenolide I (ATR-I) is an active component of the Atractylodes macrocephala rhizome and possesses various pharmacological activities, including anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant properties. Given the key role of oxidative stress and inflammation in ALF pathogenesis, this study investigates the protective effects of ATR-I on LPS/D-GalN-induced ALF in mice. The results suggest that ATR-I pretreatment significantly ameliorates ALF, as evidenced by decreased serum aminotransferase levels and prolonged mice survival. Additionally, ATR-I pretreatment inhibits oxidative stress. Furthermore, the ATR-I pretreatment markedly suppresses M1 macrophage activation in hepatic mononuclear cells. In vitro experiments with bone marrow-derived macrophages indicate that ATR-I regulates macrophage polarization through the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and interferon regulatory factor (IRF) signaling pathways. Collectively, ATR-I pretreatment protects mice from LPS/D-GalN-induced ALF partially by regulating M1 macrophage polarization.
