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

objectiveTo determine and explore the effect of Astragalus saponin IV (AS-IV) on ischemia/reperfusion (IR)-induced renal injury and its mechanisms.

methodsExperimental model of renal I/R was induced in rats by bilateral renal artery clamp for 45 min followed by reperfusion of 6 h. Rats were divided into three groups: ① sham ② IRI ③ IRI/AS-IV. In IRI/AS-IV groups, AS-IV was orally administered once a day to rats at 2 mg·kg(-1)·d(-1) for 7 days prior to ischemia. At 6 h after reperfusion, the inflammatory cytokines and renal function was assessed and NF-κB activity and PUMA expression was detected. Apoptotic cells was detected by TUNEL assay.

resultsAS-IV significantly decreased serum and tissue levels of IL-6 and TNF-α, and reduced apoptotic cell counts and histological damage. AS-IV down-regulated the phosphorylation of p65 subunit of NF-κB (NF-κB p65) and PUMA expression, and the NF-κB activity compared to the I/R groups.

conclusionsAS-IV provided protection against IRI-induced renal injury by reducing apoptosis and inflammation through inhibition of NF-κB activity and PUMA expression. AS-IV pre-treatment ameliorated tubular damage and suppressed the NF-κB p65 expression.
