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

Natural flavonoid pectolinarigenin (PEC) was reported to alleviate tubulointerstitial fibrosis of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mice in our previous study. To further investigate nephroprotective effects of PEC in hyperuricemic nephropathy (HN), adenine and potassium oxonate induced HN mice and uric acid-treated mouse kidney epithelial (TCMK-1) cells were employed in the study. As a result, PEC significantly lowered serum uric acid level and restored hyperuricemia-related kidney injury in HN mice. Meanwhile, PEC alleviated inflammation, fibrosis, and reduced adipokine FABP4 content in the kidneys of HN mice and uric acid-treated TCMK-1 cells. Mechanistically, PEC inhibited the TGF-β1 expression as well as the phosphorylation of transcription factor SMAD3 and STAT3 to regulate the corresponding inflammatory and fibrotic gene expression in kidney tissues. In conclusion, our results suggested that PEC could inhibit the activation of SMAD3 and STAT3 signaling to suppress inflammation and fibrosis, and thereby alleviate HN in mice.
