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

purposeDiabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the primary reason of chronic kidney disease. Our objective was to discover potential autophagy-related biomarkers of tubulointerstitial injury in DKD and assess their clinical value.

methodsWe retrieved four datasets (GSE104954, GSE30122, GSE30529, and GSE99340) of renal tubule samples from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and used two algorithms (LASSO and SVM-RFE) to screen for autophagy-related differentially expressed genes (ARDEGs) in DKD. Tripartite motif containing 22 (TRIM22) was identified for subsequent validation. Validation of TRIM22 and autophagic indicators expression in clinical samples and HK-2 cells stimulated by high glucose using immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and western blot.

resultsWe identified four ARDEGs (TRIM22, PLK2, HTR2B, and FAS) using a diagnostic gene model. ROC curves further confirmed that TRIM22 had the best diagnostic efficacy for DKD. Both clinical samples and HK-2 cells stimulated by high glucose showed high protein expression of TRIM22. The correlation analysis revealed that TRIM22 correlates with SQSTM1, NGAL, and some clinical and pathological indicators in patients with DKD.

conclusionWe identified TRIM22 as a potential diagnostic biomarker for DKD, revealing its high diagnostic value in patients with DKD with moderate-to-severe interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA). TRIM22 is involved in tubulointerstitial injury and autophagy dysregulation in DKD.
