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

purpose of reviewThe role of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the kidney has been under study for many years; however, the complex mechanisms by which endothelin controls the physiology/pathophysiology of this organ are not fully resolved. This review aims to summarize recent findings in the field, especially regarding glomerular and tubular damage, Na/water homeostasis and sex differences in ET-1 function. RECENT

findingsPodocytes have been recently identified as a target of ET-1 in the glomerular filtration barrier via ETA receptor activation. Activation of the ETA receptor by ET-1 leads to renal tubular damage by promoting endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in these cells. In addition, high flow rates in the nephron in response to high salt intake induce ET-1 production by the collecting ducts and promote nitric oxide-dependent natriuresis through epithelial sodium channel inhibition. Recent evidence also indicates that sex hormones regulate the renal ET-1 system differently in men and women, with estrogen suppressing renal ET-1 production and testosterone upregulating that production. SUMMARY: Based on the reports reviewed in here, targeting of the renal endothelin system is a possible therapeutic approach against the development of glomerular injury. More animal and clinical studies are needed to better understand the dimorphic control of this system by sex hormones.
