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 kidneys are particularly vulnerable to ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/RI). Although previous research has suggested that the circadian gene brain and muscle ARNT-like 1 (BMAL1) plays a role in regulating renal function, the exact functions and mechanisms of BMAL1 in diabetic renal I/RI remain elusive. In this study, bilateral renal artery ligation and release were performed in non-diabetic (db/+) and diabetic (db/db) mice. In diabetic kidneys, experimental findings demonstrated a significant decrease in BMAL1 expression, along with the inhibition of the HIF-1α/BNIP3 signaling pathway and compromised mitophagy. BMAL1 overexpression alleviated cell damage and apoptosis under high glucose and hypoxia/reoxygenation stimulation. Inhibition of the Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)/ B-cell lymphoma-2 interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) pathway by the HIF-1α inhibitor PX-478 intensified cellular damage and reduced the protective effect of BMAL1 overexpression in TCMK-1 cells. These results indicate that BMAL1 regulates mitophagy in diabetic renal I/RI through the HIF-1α/BNIP3 pathway, providing valuable insights for the development of targeted therapies for diabetic renal I/RI.
