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

Progressive renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis is a common final pathway of nearly all forms of chronic kidney disease. Many efforts have been done to arrest or prevent renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis but with little progress. Nowadays, few therapeutic agents are available in clinical use. Norcantharidin (NCTD) is of great benefit in anticancer treatment, by inducing cell apoptosis, inhibiting cell proliferation, in addition, blocking tumor metastasis and angiogenesis in cancer, whereas little attention is given to its relationship with other diseases. Our recent studies demonstrated that NCTD was protective against renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis both in vivo and in vitro. The underlying mechanisms may include modulation of TGF-β1/Smad signal cascade, inhibition of protein serine/threonine phosphatases (PPP) as well as NF-κB. NCTD may be a promising therapeutic agent for renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis. In the present article, we will review the action of NCTD in renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis and discuss its possible mechanisms.
