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

Background: Shiga toxin-producing Methods: Male juvenile Sprague-Dawley rats (∼100 g body weight (bw)) were intraperitoneally injected with lethal (5 ng/g bw) or sublethal (1 ng/g bw) doses of Stx2, or eluent. Some rats were orally treated with EG (15 mg/d or 25 mg/d) for 0-2 days, until 2 days or 3 days post-injection. Rat survival, renal Gb3 expression, renal function, histopathological observations, and aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) tubular expression were evaluated. Results: Rats injected with the Stx2 lethal dose showed significant kidney injury with extended tubular necrosis and some glomerular alterations at 3 days post-injection. The Stx2 sublethal dose caused significantly less renal injury extension than the lethal dose, showing only tubular damage. The expression of AQP1 and NGAL corroborated the tubular alteration in Stx2-injected rats. The oral treatment with EG reduced Gb3 renal levels and, therefore, significantly prevented the renal injury caused by lethal and sublethal doses of Stx2 in rats. Moreover, the pretreatment for 2 days with EG prevented the mortality in those rats injected with the Stx2 lethal dose. The EG treatment did not cause renal or systemic alterations. The effectiveness of EG treatment depended on the dose and the pretreatment time. Conclusion: The oral treatment with EG could be a therapeutic strategy to prevent the action of Stx2 and the development of acute kidney injury in diarrhea-associated HUS patients.
