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

objectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanisms of Danzhi Jiangtang capsule (, DJC) on renal injury in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes of rats.

methodsSprague-Dawley rats were fed with high fat diet for 6 weeks followed by streptozotocin (STZ, 35 mg/kg) injection. These rats were then treated with DJC (270, 540 and 1080 mg/kg) daily for 8 weeks.

resultsA combination of high fat diet and STZ significantly increased blood glucose creatinine, urea nitrogen, and urine albumin in rats. Meanwhile, the glomerular and tubular lesions were observed in rats fed with high fat diet and injected with STZ. These biochemical and pathological changes were significantly attenuated by DJC treatments in a dose-dependent manner. Mechanistically, DJC treatments significantly decreased toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signals in the kidney of rats fed with high fat diet and injected with STZ. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining and caspase-8 levels showed that renal apoptosis was increased in rats fed with high fat diet and injected with STZ, and this was attenuated by DJC treatments.

conclusionsDJC treatments protect against diabetic kidney disease, and the mechanism may be closely related to downregulation of TLR4/MAPK/NF-κB pathways and apoptosis. This study provides further evidence of using DJC as a potential therapeutic option for diabetic kidney disease.
