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 the mechanism underlying C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) beneficial effects is not entirely understood, modulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)/tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) may play an important role. The study presented herein was designed as a first demonstration of the regulative effects of CNP on MMPs/TIMPs expression in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) rats. The continuous changes of CNP, MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and type IV collagen (Col-IV) expression were determined in the obstructed rat kidneys at 3 days, 1, 2, and 3 months post-UUO respectively. According to the real-time PCR analysis, CNP, MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA expression in the obstructed kidneys were significantly higher compared to every time corresponding SOR, and progressively decreased over time. In contrast, in the obstructed kidneys collected 2 and 3 months post-UUO, the higher TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 mRNA expression were observed in comparison to the corresponding SOR group. The above trends of CNP, MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 transcripts were confirmed by their protein expression based on immunohistochemistry and western blot, and finally contributed to the progressive elevated Col-IV expression in the obstructed kidneys throughout the entire study period. Overexpressed CNP may be an early compensatory response to counteract extracellular matrix remodeling in UUO rats.
