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

purposeTo evaluate whether acute kidney injury (AKI) differs between young and adult recipients and to explore the possible underlying mechanisms.

methodsIn an allogenic heterotopic rat kidney transplantation model, we evaluated the renal function, histological damage, oxidative stress injury, apoptosis, immune cell infiltration, and signaling pathways involved in young and adult recipients based on transcriptomics, proteomics, machine learning analyses, and experimental validation. We also identified and validated the possible hub immune-related genes and serum cytokines with the intersection of the maximal clique centrality method, betweenness centrality, and random forest algorithms.

resultsYounger recipients had lower levels of renal histological damage injury score, oxidative stress injury, and apoptosis. The cytokine profile was different in young and adult recipients. Cytokines and cytokine-mediated pathways involved in oxidative stress, apoptosis, proliferation, and immune cell infiltration were closely correlated with differentially expressed genes. In addition, cytokines mediated immune response participating in antioxidative, anti-apoptosis, and regeneration processes.

conclusionsYounger systemic internal milieu in young recipients alleviated AKI after kidney transplantation by ameliorating oxidative stress and apoptosis via immune response regulation. Cytokines may play a protective role in AKI after kidney transplantation. The use of cytokines in transplantation deserves further experimental evaluation and clinical considerations.
