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

Ischemia/reperfusion injury is the leading cause of acute tubular necrosis. Nitric oxide has a protective role against ischemia/reperfusion injury; however, the role of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, in ischemia/reperfusion injury remains unclear. ADMA is produced by protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) and is mainly degraded by dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH). Here we examined the kinetics of ADMA and PRMT and DDAH expression in the kidneys of ischemia/reperfusion-injured mice. After the injury, DDAH-1 levels were decreased and renal and plasma ADMA values were increased in association with renal dysfunction. Renal ADMA was correlated with 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, a marker of oxidative stress. An antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine, or a proteasomal inhibitor, MG-132, restored these alterations. Infusion of subpressor dose of ADMA exacerbated renal dysfunction, capillary loss, and tubular necrosis in the kidneys of ischemia/reperfusion-injured wild mice, while damage was attenuated in DDAH transgenic mice. Thus, ischemia/reperfusion injury-induced oxidative stress may reduce DDAH expression and cause ADMA accumulation, which may contribute to capillary loss and tubular necrosis in the kidney.
