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

Although angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor antagonist ameliorates proteinuria, its pharmacological mechanism and the differential roles of Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R) and type 2 receptor (AT2R) are not well understood. We analyzed the effect of Ang II type 1 receptor antagonist on proteinuria caused by antibody against nephrin, a functional molecule of glomerular slit diaphragm and dysfunction of which is involved in the development of proteinuria in several glomerular diseases. We show here that AT1R antagonist ameliorated proteinuria by preventing a reduction in the functional molecules of the slit diaphragm. We also analyzed the role of AT1R- or AT2R-mediated actions on the expression of the slit diaphragm molecules in an in vivo study of normal rat and in an in vitro study of cultured podocytes. AT1R-mediated action hampered the mRNA expression of the slit diaphragm molecules, whereas AT2R-mediated action enhanced it. These findings indicate that Ang II receptor subtypes play opposite roles in regulating the barrier function of glomerular capillary wall and that the enhancement of AT2R stimulation may serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for proteinuria.
