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

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease constitutes the leading cause of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is termed cardiorenal syndrome type 4 (CRS-4). Here, we report the development of pathological cardiac remodeling and fibrosis in unilateral urinary obstruction (UUO) rats. Methods: Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was performed to observe the pathology of myocardial tissue. The degree of myocardial tissue fibrosis was observed by Masson and Sirius red staining. Immunohistochemical staining was applied to detect the expression of CD34 and CD105 in myocardial tissue, and immunofluorescent staining was performed to examine the expression of CD34, collagen I/collagen III, and alpha smooth muscle actin ( Results: The results showed the development of pathological cardiac remodeling and cardiac dysfunction in UUO rats. Moreover, there was more angiogenesis and endothelial-mesenchymal transition (End-MT) in the UUO group, and these effects were inhibited by eplerenone. Conclusions: The results indicated that this cardiac fibrosis was associated with angiogenesis and that End-MT was related to aldosterone and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) activation. Moreover, in association with the MR/IL-1
