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

backgroundPrimary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune-mediated cholestatic liver disease. Nanoparticles encapsulating rapamycin (ImmTOR) suppress adaptive immune responses and induce the hepatic tolerogenic immune response.

aimTo investigate the effects of ImmTOR in PBC mouse models.

methodsPBC models were induced in C57BL/6 mice by two immunizations of 2-octynoic acid-coupled bovine serum albumin at two-week intervals, and polycytidylic acid every three days. The PBC mouse models were separated into the treatment group and the control group. The levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alanine aminotransferase in the mice were detected using an automatic biochemical analyzer. Liver and spleen mononuclear cells were analyzed by flow cytometry, and serum anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) and the related cytokines were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Liver histopathology was examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining and scored.

resultsAfter treatment with ImmTOR, the ALP level was significantly decreased (189.60 U/L ± 27.25 U/L

conclusionImmTOR can improve biochemistry and pathology of liver obvious by inhibiting the expression of CD8+ T cells and B cells, and reducing the titer of AMA.
