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

Podocyte injury is a critical event in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, and other factors contribute to podocyte damage in DN. In this study, we demonstrate that signaling regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) plays a pivotal role in regulating the metabolic and immune homeostasis of podocytes. Deletion of SIRPα in podocytes exacerbates, while transgenic overexpression of SIRPα alleviates, podocyte injury in experimental DN mice. Mechanistically, SIRPα downregulation promotes pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) phosphorylation, initiating a positive feedback loop that involves PKM2 nuclear translocation, NF-κB activation, and oxidative stress, ultimately impairing aerobic glycolysis. Consistent with this mechanism, shikonin ameliorates podocyte injury by reducing PKM2 nuclear translocation, preventing oxidative stress and NF-κB activation, thereby restoring aerobic glycolysis.
