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

The 5/6 nephrectomy rat remnant kidney model is commonly used to study chronic kidney disease (CKD). This model requires the removal of one whole kidney and two-thirds of the other kidney. The two most common ways of producing the remnant kidney are surgical resection of poles, known as the polectomy model, or ligation of superior and inferior segmental renal arteries, resulting in pole infarction. These models have much in common, but also major phenotypic differences, and thus respectively model unique aspects of human CKD. The purpose of this review is to summarize phenotypic similarities and differences between these two models and their relation to human CKD while emphasizing their vascular phenotype. In this article, we review studies that have evaluated arterial blood pressure, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system, autoregulation, nitric oxide, single-nephron physiology, angiogenic and antiangiogenic factors, and capillary rarefaction in these two models. In terms of phenotypic similarities, both models spontaneously develop hallmarks of human CKD including uremia, fibrosis, capillary rarefaction, and progressive renal function decline. They both undergo whole organ hypertrophy, hyperfiltration of functional nephrons, reduced renal expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, increased renal expression of antiangiogenic thrombospondin-1, impaired renal autoregulation, and abnormal vascular nitric oxide physiology. In terms of key phenotypic differences, the infarction model develops rapid-onset, moderate to severe systemic hypertension and the polectomy model develops early normotension followed by mild to moderate hypertension. Rats subjected to the infarction model have a markedly more active renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Comparison of these two models facilitates understanding of how they can be used for studying CKD pathophysiology.
