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

Background and purpose: 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside (TSG) exhibits a dualistic pharmacological profile, acting as both a hepatoprotective and hepatotoxic agent, which is intricately linked to its interaction with multiple signaling pathways and its stereoisomeric forms, namely, cis-SG and trans-SG. The purpose of this study is to evaluate both the hepatoprotective and hepatotoxic effects of TSG and give therapeutic guidance. Methods: This study performed a systematic search of eight databases to identify preclinical literature up until March 2024. The CAMARADES system evaluated evidence quality and bias. STATA and Python were used for statistical analysis, including dose-effect maps, 3D maps and radar charts to show the dose-time-effect relationship of TSG on hepatoprotection and hepatotoxicity. Results: After a rigorous screening process, a total of 24 studies encompassing 564 rodents were selected for inclusion in this study. The findings revealed that TSG exhibited bidirectional effects on the levels of ALT and AST, while also regulating the levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α, IL-6, serum TG, serum TC, SOD, MDA, IFN-γ, and apoptosis rate. The histological analysis of liver tissue confirmed the regulatory effects of TSG, and a comprehensive analysis revealed the optimal protective dosage range was 27.27-38.81 mg/kg/d and the optimal toxic dosage range was 51.93-76.07 mg/kg/d. TSG exerts the dual effects on liver injury (LI) through the network of Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1, NF-κB, PPAR, PI3K/Akt, JAK/STAT and TGF-β pathways. Conclusion: TSG could mediate the pathways of oxidation, inflammation, and metabolism to result in hepatoprotection (27.27-38.81 mg/kg/d) and hepatotoxicity (51.93-76.07 mg/kg/d).
