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

Introduction: Sanqi oral solution (SQ) is a Chinese medicine that has been used well to treat idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). It has been demonstrated to mitigate IMN proteinuria by inhibiting podocyte apoptosis. however, the precise mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Methods: A passive Heymann nephropathy (PHN) rat model was used to mimic the Results: The SQ ingredients found in rat serum underscored their successful absorption in rats. In PHN rats, SQ induced a significant reduction in proteinuria, MAC, C5b-9, and glomerular basement membrane thickness, along with a drop in apoptotic podocytes. Similarly, SQ exerted a protective effect against ADR-induced podocyte injury by inhibiting apoptosis. Furthermore, inhibition of the ERK/CK2-α/β-catenin pathway-mediated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was found to be involved in the anti-apoptotic effect of SQ in PHN rats and podocytes, marked by the reduction in vimentin and α-SMA and the induction of Synaptopodin and Podocin protein levels. Conclusion: Inhibition of EMT via the ERK/CK2-α/β-catenin pathway may be the main mechanism by which SQ suppresses podocyte apoptosis in IMN.
