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

backgroundChronic renal disease (CKD) is characterized by complex changes in cell metabolism leading to an increased production of oxygen radicals, that, in turn has been suggested to play a key role in numerous clinical complications of this pathological condition. Several reports have focused on the identification of biological elements involved in the development of systemic biochemical alterations in CKD, but this abundant literature results fragmented and not exhaustive.

resultsTo better define the cellular machinery associated to this condition, we employed a high-throughput genomic approach based on a whole transcriptomic analysis associated with classical molecular methodologies. The genomic screening of peripheral blood mononuclear cells revealed that 44 genes were up-regulated in both CKD patients in conservative treatment (CKD, n = 9) and hemodialysis (HD, n = 17) compared to healthy subjects (HS, n = 8) (p < 0.001, FDR = 1%). Functional analysis demonstrated that 11/44 genes were involved in the oxidative phosphorylation system. Western blotting for COXI and COXIV, key constituents of the complex IV of oxidative phosphorylation system, performed on an independent testing-group (12 healthy subjects, 10 CKD and 14 HD) confirmed an higher synthesis of these subunits in CKD/HD patients compared to the control group. Only for COXI, the comparison between CKD and healthy subjects reached the statistical significance. However, complex IV activity was significantly reduced in CKD/HD patients compared to healthy subjects (p < 0.01). Finally, CKD/HD patients presented higher reactive oxygen species and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine levels compared to controls.

conclusionTaken together these results suggest, for the first time, that CKD/HD patients may have an impaired mitochondrial respiratory system and this condition may be both the consequence and the cause of an enhanced oxidative stress.
