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.
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
introductionHyperglycemia has been reported to be a crucial factor that aggravates liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Macrophage-mediated inflammatory injury is vital to liver IRI. A positive effect of Liver X receptor (LXR) on diabetes has been proven; however, the function and mechanism of LXR in diabetic liver IRI remain unclear. Accordingly, our study concentrates on the mechanism underly. MATERIALS AND
methodsStreptozotocin (STZ, 40 mg/kg)-treated diabetic mice were used to establish a liver IRI model. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were used in studying the role of macrophage inflammation in diabetic liver. GW3965 hydrochloride was used to activate LXR in vivo and in vitro. QD394, a lipid peroxidation agonist, was used to verify the underlying mechanism.
resultsHyperglycemia exacerbates liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) by promoting hepatic cell death and inflammation in vivo. In diabetic livers, the expression of liver X receptors (LXRs) is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the ischemia-reperfusion process itself further decreases LXR levels. Application of the LXR agonist GW3965 mitigates macrophage lipid peroxidation and inflammasome NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3) inflammasome activation in vitro, thereby protecting the liver from severe IRI. The results were further confirmed by the rescue experiments.
conclusionsLXRs play an important role in diabetic liver IRI and macrophage-associated inflammation. Pharmacologic activation of LXRs alleviates macrophage inflammatory activation in diabetic liver IRI, and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for diabetes-related liver injury.
