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: Stress-induced liver injury, resulting from acute or chronic stress, is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. The endocannabinoid system, particularly cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB Methods: We employed a mouse model of stress-induced liver injury to evaluate the protective effects of CBD. Assessments included histopathological analysis, cytokine detection via ELISA, protein expression analysis using immunohistochemistry and Western blot, and gene transcription differential analysis. Transmission electron microscopy was utilized to observe mitochondrial morphology. Additionally, we examined the expression levels of CB Results: CBD exhibited significant protective effects against stress-induced liver injury in mice. Decreases in liver function indicators (including Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)) and inflammatory cytokines (such as IL-1β and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α)) were observed. CBD enhanced CB Conclusion: CBD activates the CB
