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

Oxidative stress is a driver of acute and chronic kidney injury. Selonsertib is a clinical stage antagonist of ASK1 (MAP3K5), a serine/threonine kinase that is a mediator of oxidative stress signaling pathways. Selonsertib has demonstrated promising effects on preserving kidney function in the Phase2b Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) MOSAIC trial. However, little is known about the biological effects of ASK1 inhibition by selonsertib and its potential mechanism of action in DKD. We identified a plasma proteome signature of selonsertib activity that implicates numerous signaling pathways that regulate fibrosis, inflammation and oxidative stress response demonstrating translation of non-clinical models to the clinic. We further demonstrate that the effects of selonsertib on the plasma proteome are most pronounced in a subset of patients with poor baseline kidney function but who respond well to selonsertib treatment. This observation has implications for the future development of ASK1 inhibitors in a distinct patient population with DKD.
