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

Bioartificial renal tubule devices (BTD) use cell therapy to improve conditions commonly observed in recipients of artificial kidneys for treatment of kidney diseases. We previously reported significant improvement of the condition of acute kidney injury (AKI) animals after treatment with BTD prepared with lifespan-extended human renal proximal tubular cells (hRPTEC). However, a major obstacle to use of BTD for patients is their biological safety, because hRPTEC are cultured in medium containing fetal calf serum. To establish the biological safety of BTD, we prepared BTD with lifespan-extended hRPTEC cultured in a newly developed serum-free medium and compared these with BTD prepared with hRPTEC cultured in serum-containing conventional medium. Lifespan-extended hRPTEC cultured in serum-free medium (hRPTEC-SFM) can proliferate similar to hRPTEC cultured in serum-containing conventional medium (hRPTEC-CM). Comparison of leakage and of reabsorption of small molecules for BTD prepared with hRPTEC-SFM (BTD-SFM) with those for our previous BTD prepared with hRPTEC-CM (BTD-CM) showed transportation in these two types of BTD was almost identical. When AKI goats were treated with BTD-SFM for 26 h, increase of survival time and reduction of cytokine expression in blood cells were almost same as for AKI goats treated with BTD-CM. Quantification of the expression of some genes of hRPTEC in BTD revealed significant changes during BTD treatment for AKI goats. In conclusion, lifespan-extended hRPTEC-SFM work as well as hRPTEC-CM, and the biological safety of BTD for patients could be elevated without loss of function by preparation from hRPTEC-SFM.
