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

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common microvascular complication of diabetes. Mitochondrial dysfunction in the kidney caused by diabetes has previously been linked to the pathogenesis of DN. By mass spectrometry, we identified characteristic proteins of DN from the renal mitochondria in mouse model. To identify the core proteins among them, Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, microarray data validation, and drug-target interaction analysis were employed. MR analysis found that 189 candidate targets had a causal link with DN risk factors (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary albumin excretion, and serum creatinine). After systematic analysis, we validated that SLC25A16, CTNND1, C2CD2L, ALDH3A2, NEU1, APEH, CORO1A, NUDT19, and NDUFA4L2 are the core proteins with promising druggability in DN. This study suggests the feasibility of using MR analysis for DN drug target screening, and provides potential insights into mitochondrial dysfunction research, which may contribute to further DN pathogenesis exploration.
