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

Renal failure is a major complication that arises with aging in glycogen storage disease type 1a and type 1b patients. In the kidneys, glucose-6 phosphatase catalytic subunit (encoded by G6pc) deficiency leads to the accumulation of glycogen, an effect resulting in marked nephromegaly and progressive glomerular hyperperfusion and hyperfiltration preceding the development of microalbuminuria and proteinuria. To better understand the end-stage nephropathy in glycogen storage disease type 1a, we generated a novel kidney-specific G6pc knockout (K-G6pc(-/-)) mouse, which exhibited normal life expectancy. After 6 months, K-G6pc(-/-) mice showed glycogen overload leading to nephromegaly and tubular dilation. Moreover, renal accumulation of lipids due to activation of de novo lipogenesis was observed. This led to the activation of the renin-angiotensin system and the development of epithelial-mesenchymal transition process and podocyte injury by transforming growth factor β1 signaling. The K-G6pc(-/-) mice developed microalbuminuria caused by the impairment of the glomerular filtration barrier. Thus, renal G6pc deficiency alone is sufficient to induce the development of the early-onset nephropathy observed in glycogen storage disease type 1a, independent of the liver disease. The K-G6pc(-/-) mouse model is a unique tool to decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying renal failure and to evaluate potential therapeutic strategies.
