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

Loss of kidney function in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury is due to programmed cell death, but the contribution of necroptosis, a newly discovered form of programmed necrosis, has not been evaluated. Here, we identified the presence of death receptor-mediated but caspase-independent cell death in murine tubular cells and characterized it as necroptosis by the addition of necrostatin-1, a highly specific receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 inhibitor. The detection of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 and 3 in whole-kidney lysates and freshly isolated murine proximal tubules led us to investigate the contribution of necroptosis in a mouse model of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Treatment with necrostatin-1 reduced organ damage and renal failure, even when administered after reperfusion, resulting in a significant survival benefit in a model of lethal renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Unexpectedly, specific blockade of apoptosis by zVAD, a pan-caspase inhibitor, did not prevent the organ damage or the increase in urea and creatinine in vivo in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Thus, necroptosis is present and has functional relevance in the pathophysiological course of ischemic kidney injury and shows the predominance of necroptosis over apoptosis in this setting. Necrostatin-1 may have therapeutic potential to prevent and treat renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.
