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

Kidney diseases are among the most prevalent conditions worldwide, impacting over 850 million individuals. They are categorized into acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Current preclinical and clinical trials have demonstrated that endothelin (ET) is linked to the onset and progression of kidney disease. In kidney diseases, pathological conditions such as hyperglycemia, acidosis, insulin resistance, and elevated angiotensin II levels lead to an increase in ET. This elevation activates endothelin receptor type A, resulting in harmful effects like proteinuria and a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Therefore, to slow the progression of kidney disease, endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) have been proposed as promising new therapies. Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of ERAs in significantly reducing proteinuria and improving GFR, thereby slowing the progression of kidney diseases. This review discusses the mechanisms of action of ERAs in treating kidney disease, their efficacy and safety in preclinical and clinical studies, and explores future prospects for ERAs.
