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

Neutrophil activation to release granules containing proteases and other enzymes is a primary cause of tissue damage during ischemia/reperfusion injury. Because the contribution of specific granule enzymes to this injury remains poorly defined, the role of cathepsin G in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury was tested. Bilateral renal ischemia led to the expiration of 64% of wild-type mice within 4 days of reperfusion, whereas all cathepsin G-deficient mice survived. Serum creatinine increased to similar levels at 24 hours after reperfusion and then decreased to background in both groups of mice. Ischemic kidneys from both groups had similar levels of neutrophil infiltration and of CXCL1, CXCL2, and myeloperoxidase protein 9 hours after reperfusion, but at 24 hours, these acute inflammatory response components were decreased more than 50% in kidneys from cathepsin G-deficient versus wild-type mice. Ischemic kidneys from surviving wild-type mice had severe tubular necrosis and tubular cell apoptosis 24 hours after reperfusion with subsequent development of fibrosis 30 days later. In contrast, ischemic kidneys from cathepsin G-deficient mice had a 70% decrease in tubular cell apoptosis with little detectable collagen deposition. These data identify cathepsin G as a critical component sustaining neutrophil-mediated acute tissue pathology and subsequent fibrosis after renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.
