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

It is not clear whether interstitial fibroblasts or tubular epithelial cells are primarily responsible for the profibrotic effects of NF-κB activation during renal fibrogenesis. Here, we crossed mice carrying a conditional IκB dominant-negative transgene (IκBdN) with mice transgenic for cell-specific FSP1.Cre (FSP1(+) fibroblasts) or γGT.Cre (proximal tubular epithelia) and challenged all progeny with unilateral ureteral obstruction. We determined NF-κB activation by nuclear localization of phosphorylated p65 ((p)p65) in renal tissues after 7 days. We observed inhibition of NF-κB activation in interstitial cells and tubular epithelia in obstructed kidneys of FSP1.Cre;IκBdN and γGT.Cre;IκBdN mice, respectively, compared with IκBdN controls (P < 0.05). Deposition of extracellular matrix, however, was significantly lower in the obstructed kidneys of FSP1.Cre;IκBdN mice but not in γGT.Cre;IκBdN mice (P < 0.05). In addition, levels of mRNA encoding the profibrotic PAI-1, fibronectin-EIIIA, and type I (α1) procollagen were significantly lower in obstructed kidneys of FSP1.Cre;IκBdN mice compared with γGT.Cre;IκBdN mice (P < 0.05). Taken together, these data support a profibrotic role for fibroblasts, but not proximal tubular epithelial cells, in modulating NF-κB activation during renal fibrogenesis.
