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

All types of progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) inevitably induce renal fibrosis, the hallmark of which is the activation and accumulation of a large number of matrix-producing fibroblasts or myofibroblasts. The activated fibroblasts or myofibroblasts are derived from diverse origins, such as residential fibroblasts, vascular pericytes, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and bone marrow (circulating fibrocytes). Recently, endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) or endothelial-to-myofibroblast transition has also been suggested to promote fibrosis and is recognized as a novel mechanism for the generation of myofibroblasts. Similar to EMT, during EndMT, endothelial cells lose their adhesion and apical-basal polarity to form highly invasive, migratory, spindle-shaped, elongated mesenchymal cells. More importantly, biochemical changes accompany these distinct changes in cell polarity and morphology, including the decreased expression of endothelial markers and the acquisition of mesenchymal markers. This review highlights evidence supporting the important role of EndMT in the development of renal fibrosis in CKD and its underlying mechanisms, including novel biological significance of microRNA regulation.
