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

Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury is a critical clinical problem caused by kidney and heart surgery and can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI). Bevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to circulating soluble isoforms of VEGF-A, thereby inhibiting the activation of VEGF molecular pathways and eliciting antiangiogenic effects. This study assessed the nephroprotective potential of bevacizumab in a rat model of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R). Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated into four groups: Sham, I/R, I/R + normal saline, and I/R + bevacizumab. The sham group was subjected to laparotomy without I/R induction. The I/R, I/R + normal saline, and I/R + bevacizumab groups were subjected to 30 min of bilateral renal ischemia, followed by 24 h of reperfusion. The rats in the I/R + normal saline and I/R + bevacizumab groups were administered normal saline (vehicle for bevacizumab) and 0.1 mg/kg bevacizumab via intraperitoneal injection 60 min before ischemia, respectively. Renal damage markers (creatinine and KIM-1), inflammatory and oxidative markers (TNF-α, IL-1β, NF-κB, F8-isoprostane and SOD), and an apoptotic marker (caspase-3) were measured via ELISA. Nrf2 and MLKL were assessed by IHC, and RIPK1 and HO-1 were assessed by RT‒qPCR, in addition to histological examination and molecular docking. Compared with the sham group, the I/R and I/R + normal saline groups presented significant increases in creatinine, KIM-1, NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1β, F8-isoprostane, caspase-3, RIPK1, and MLKL and a reduction in SOD. Compared with those in the sham group, the histological findings in the I/R and I/R + normal saline groups revealed notable structural damage. Conversely, bevacizumab significantly reduced renal damage, inflammatory marker levels, cellular death, and histopathological findings. In bevacizumab-treated rats, the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and HO-1 increased. Moreover, molecular docking analysis revealed that bevacizumab interacted with Keap1. Bevacizumab has nephroprotective effects against renal IRI by diminishing inflammation, necroptosis, apoptosis, and necrosis through the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and the inhibition of the RIPK1/MLKL pathway.
