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

Prevention of renal fibrosis is an important therapeutic strategy in the treatment of obstructive nephropathy. The purpose of the present study was to identify whether the combination of two natural plant-derived flavanoids, quercetin and hyperoside (QH), could inhibit renal fibrosis in the model of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) in rats. QH mixtures (1:1) were fed to Wistar rats, and UUO ligation was performed on all the rats with the exception of the sham group. Masson's trichrome staining was used for interstitial fibrosis, while immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) and fibronectin (FN). In the QH group, the expression of SMA and FN was significantly lower than that in the untreated UUO group. In addition, QH administration significantly inhibited the SMA and FN expression of mesangial cells induced by interleukin-1β. Consequently, it was evident that combinational QH therapy prevented UUO-induced renal fibrosis. Based on these findings, the combinatorial intervention of phytomedicine may present an improved treatment strategy for renal fibrotic disease.
