Erythropoietin protects lipopolysaccharide-induced renal mesangial cells from autophagy.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of erythropoietin (EPO) on the impairment of autophagy induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in primary cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs). Rat GMCs were isolated and cultured in normal glucose, high-glucose, LPS or LPS + EPO medium. At 24 and 72 h of culture, the cells were examined for expression levels of the autophagy markers LC3 and p62/sequestosome-1 (SQSTM1) using western blot analysis. At 24 h, no significant difference in the expression of LC3 and p62/SQSTM1 was observed among the groups; however, the cells exposed to high-glucose medium for 72 h showed downregulated LC3 expression and upregulated p62/SQSTM1 expression. The cells exposed to LPS (10 ng/ml) for 72 h showed upregulated LC3 expression and upregulated p62/SQSTM1 expression. These changes were reversed in the LPS + EPO group at 72 h. In conclusion, EPO can inhibit LPS-induced autophagy in rat GMCs.
