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

Liver-type fatty-acid-binding protein (L-FABP), which has high affinity for long-chain fatty acid oxidation products, may be an effective endogenous antioxidant. To examine the role of L-FABP in tubulointerstitial damage, we used a unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model. We established human L-FABP (hL-FABP) gene transgenic (Tg) mice and compared the tubulointerstitial pathology of the Tg mice (n = 23) with that of the wild-type (WT) mice (n = 23). Mice were sacrificed on days 2, 4, 5, or 7 after UUO. Although mouse L-FABP was not expressed in WT mice, hL-FABP was expressed in the proximal tubules of the Tg mice with UUO (UUO-Tg) and in sham-operated Tg mice. The expression of renal hL-FABP was significantly increased in UUO-Tg compared with sham-operated Tg mice. The number of macrophages (F4/80) infiltrating the interstitium and the level of expression of MCP-1 and MCP-3 were significantly lower in UUO-Tg kidneys compared with UUO-WT kidneys. In UUO-Tg kidneys, the degree of the tubulointerstitial injury and the deposition of type I collagen were significantly lower than that of UUO-WT kidneys. On day 7, lipid peroxidation product accumulated in the UUO-WT kidneys but not in that of UUO-Tg kidneys. In conclusion, renal L-FABP may reduce the oxidative stress in the UUO model, ameliorating tubulointerstitial damage.
