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

NADPH oxidase (Nox) enzymes are a significant source of reactive oxygen species, which contribute to glomerular podocyte dysfunction. Although studies have implicated Nox1, -2, and -4 in several glomerulopathies, including diabetic nephropathy, little is known regarding the role of Nox5 in this context. We examined Nox5 expression and regulation in kidney biopsies from diabetic patients, cultured human podocytes, and a novel mouse model. Nox5 expression increased in human diabetic glomeruli compared with nondiabetic glomeruli. Stimulation with angiotensin II upregulated Nox5 expression in human podocyte cultures and increased reactive oxygen species generation. siRNA-mediated Nox5 knockdown inhibited angiotensin II-stimulated production of reactive oxygen species and altered podocyte cytoskeletal dynamics, resulting in an Rac-mediated motile phenotype. Because the Nox5 gene is absent in rodents, we generated transgenic mice expressing human Nox5 in a podocyte-specific manner (Nox5(pod+)). Nox5(pod+) mice exhibited early onset albuminuria, podocyte foot process effacement, and elevated systolic BP. Subjecting Nox5(pod+) mice to streptozotocin-induced diabetes further exacerbated these changes. Our data show that renal Nox5 is upregulated in human diabetic nephropathy and may alter filtration barrier function and systolic BP through the production of reactive oxygen species. These findings provide the first evidence that podocyte Nox5 has an important role in impaired renal function and hypertension.
