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: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease, has complex pathogenic mechanisms and few effective clinical therapies. DKD progression is accompanied by the loss of renal resident cells, followed by chronic inflammation and extracellular matrix deposition. Necroptosis is a newly discovered form of regulated cell death and is a major form of intrinsic cell loss in certain diabetic complications such as cardiomyopathy, intestinal disease, and retinal neuropathy; however, its significance in DKD is largely unknown. Methods: In this study, the expression of necroptosis marker phosphorylated MLKL (p-MLKL) in renal biopsy tissues of patients with DKD was detected using immunofluorescence and semiquantified using immunohistochemistry. The effects of different disease-causing factors on necroptosis activation in human HK-2 cells were evaluated using immunofluorescence and Western blotting. Results: Immunostaining of phosphorylated RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL verified the occurrence of necroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells of patients with DKD. The level of the necroptosis marker p-MLKL correlated positively with the severity of renal functional, pathological damages, and lipid droplet accumulation in patients with DKD. High glucose and fatty acids were the main factors causing necroptosis in human renal tubular HK-2 cells. Renal function deterioration and renal pathological injury were accelerated, and the necroptosis pathway was activated in Conclusion: The present study revealed the role of necroptosis in the progression of DKD and might provide a new therapeutic target for the treatment of DKD.
