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

introductionMorphological and functional abnormalities of mitochondrial-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane (MAM) have emerged as a key mediator of organelle dysfunction during liver fibrosis. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) was investigated as a potential therapy for liver fibrosis with an unclear mechanism.

objectivesConsidering the changes of MAM quantity and gap distance during liver fibrosis, we aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms and their potential as therapeutic targets for TMP in inhibiting liver fibrosis.

methodsThrough different sequencing techniques and a series of molecular biology experiments, we explored the effects and mechanisms of TMP in CCl

resultsAn aberrant increase in the numbers of MAM and drastic alterations in the morphology of ER and mitochondria were accompanied by a substantial influx of Ca

conclusionHere, we highlight the therapeutic potential of TMP in liver fibrosis by elucidating its role in repairing hepatic MAM.
