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

Lipid disorder is an independent risk factor of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Excess accumulation of lipid in podocytes can cause cell dysfunction and cell death. Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) serves as a critical role in regulating lipid metabolism. However, the exact role of CMA in the podocytes of DKD with dyslipidemia is still uncertain. Herein, we aimed to explore the role of CMA in hyperlipidemia-induced lipid accumulation and apoptosis in podocytes. In the present study, we showed that palmitic acid (PA) treatment induced the activation of CMA, increased lipid accumulation and apoptosis in podocytes. We further found that blocking CMA with inhibitor VER155008 or LAMP-2 A siRNA significantly upregulated PA-induced increased expression of PLIN2, exacerbated PA-induced lipid accumulation and apoptosis, whereas promoting CMA with Torin1 downregulated the expression of PLIN2, ameliorated lipid accumulation and apoptosis in PA-induced podocytes. Moreover, we also observed the activation of CMA and increased lipid accumulation in the kidney tissue of DKD mice. Taken together, these results suggest that CMA plays a protective role in PA-induced podocytes apoptosis and that the potential protective mechanism of CMA is involved in reducing cellular lipid accumulation through mediating the degradation of PLIN2.
