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

Critical for cellular maintenance and repair, autophagy recycles damaged or redundant cellular components. Dysregulated autophagy is associated with progressive cellular injury in various liver pathologies. However, the role of autophagy in intestinal failure-associated liver disease has not previously been investigated. Using a preclinical murine model of short bowel syndrome, we explored the role of autophagy impairment at early and late time points. Regardless of sex, small bowel resected (SBR) mice demonstrated significant liver injury compared to sham controls, exhibiting elevated serum transaminases, altered liver histology, and increased mRNA expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress marker (Ddit3) and oxidative stress marker (Nqo1). Autophagy impairment was supported by increased p62 mRNA and protein expression in SBR liver and then confirmed with qualitative autophagy flux assay which suggested alteration of autophagy induction in SBR liver. Single nuclear RNA sequencing identified a cluster of hepatocytes in the SBR liver with increased p62 expression. These hepatocytes showed enrichment of genes related to the PI3K-Akt and ErbB pathways both which converge on mTORC1. Immunohistochemical distribution of pS6 confirmed increased mTORC1 activation in the SBR hepatocytes. Overall autophagy dysregulation is correlated with mTORC1 activation in SBR mice and is associated with greater liver injury.
