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

We recently synthesized a novel proteolysis-resistant cyclic helix B peptide (CHBP) that exhibits promising renoprotective effects. Dendritic cells (DCs) play an activation role in acute rejection (AR). Thus, the present study was designed to investigate the effects of CHBP on DCs in a rat renal transplantation model. The left kidney was harvested from male Lewis rats and then transplanted into male Wistar rats with or without CHBP treatment. Five successive treatment doses of CHBP after transplantation significantly ameliorated AR with lower histological injury, apoptosis and CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell infiltration in renal allografts. CHBP reduced IFN-γ and IL-1β levels but increased IL-4 and IL-10 levels in the serum. The number of mature DCs was significantly decreased in renal allografts treated with CHBP. In addition, incubating DCs with CHBP in vitro led to reduction in TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β and IL-12 levels and increase of IL-10 expression at the protein level in the supernatant. Mechanistically, CHBP inhibited TLR activation-induced DC maturation by increasing SOCS1 expression through Jak-2/STAT3 signaling. In conclusion, CHBP suppresses renal allograft AR by inhibiting the maturation of DCs via Jak-2/STAT3/SOCS1 signaling, suggesting that CHBP may be an potential therapeutic drug for treating renal AR.
