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

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a critical clinical condition associated with liver transplantation and acute liver injury. This study investigated the role of sulfide quinone oxidoreductase (SQOR) and its downstream product, supersulfides, in hepatic IRI. C57BL/6NJ mice were subjected to 45 min of partial hepatic ischemia, followed by reperfusion lasting 4 h. Control of shRNA mediated knockdown of SQOR expressing adeno-associated viral vectors were administered 3 weeks prior to liver ischemia. In the shRNA-mediated knockdown of SQOR group, the hydro-trisulfide donor sodium trisulfide was administered daily for 1 week prior to the induction of liver ischemia. SQOR played a crucial protective role during hepatic IRI by facilitating electron transport to the mitochondrial respiratory chain and maintaining the oxidized and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ratio. Administration of sodium trisulfide, exhibited protective effects against hepatic IRI. Sodium trisulfide restored the oxidized and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ratio, reduced oxidative stress, and preserved the expression of key enzymes involved in the sulfide oxidation pathway. SQOR and supersulfides contribute to hepatic protection against IRI, likely through their potent antioxidative and redox-regulating functions, and highlight sodium trisulfide as a potential therapeutic agent.
