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

backgroundAlcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a major global health condition characterized by inflammation, hepatocellular injury, fibrosis, and impaired liver regeneration. To capture key features of severe ALD, we employed a murine model combining ethanol (EtOH) exposure with galactosamine (GalN), a hepatotoxic agent that sensitizes the liver to endotoxin-induced injury. Using this model, we evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of resolvin D1 (RvD1), a lipid mediator with potent anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective actions.

methodsC57BL/6J male mice were fed 5% EtOH-containing liquid diet for 10 days and administered GalN (500 mg/kg, i.p.) on days 9, 10, and 11, followed by a single EtOH binge (5 g/kg) on day 11. A separate cohort also received RvD1 (500 ng/mouse, days 7-12) as a therapy. Markers of endotoxemia, liver injury, inflammation, fibrosis, and regeneration were evaluated at 9 and 48 hours after the binge.

resultsThe EtOH+GalN model reproduced hallmark features of advanced ALD, including acute liver injury, sustained inflammation, induction of pro-fibrotic gene markers, reduced hepatic synthetic function, and markedly impaired regenerative capacity. RvD1 treatment significantly mitigated EtOH+GalN-induced pathology, lowering plasma endotoxin and ALT levels, reducing hepatic necrosis, and limiting neutrophil infiltration. RvD1 also decreased hepatic IL-6 levels at 9 hours and reduced IFN-γ at 48 hours. In addition, RvD1 attenuated the expression of pro-fibrotic genes and improved the diminished regenerative response in EtOH+GalN-treated mice, increasing hepatocyte proliferation at 48 hours and partially restoring plasma albumin concentrations.

conclusionThis study established an EtOH+GalN exposure mouse model of severe ALD and demonstrated that RvD1 exerts significant hepatoprotective effects. The findings support RvD1 as a promising therapeutic candidate for advanced ALD and provide the rationale for further mechanistic studies and translational evaluation.
