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

The aim of the present study was to investigate the renoprotective effects of isorhamnetin (ISO) in type 2 diabetic rats and its effects on the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway, which is associated with diabetic nephropathy. The type 2 diabetic rat model was established by a high-fat diet plus streptozocin injection and the rats were subsequently treated with two dosages of ISO, respectively. The levels of blood glucose were determined. Urinary osteopontin, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and albumin were measured to evaluate the renal function of the rats. Renal NF-κB signaling activity was assessed by measuring the levels of NF-κB p65, phospho-NF-κB p65, inhibitor of NF-κB (IκBα) and phospho-IκBα, and the NF-κB p65 DNA-binding activity. Downstream inflammatory mediators [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)] of the NF-κB signaling pathway were investigated to evaluate the renal inflammatory response. Renal levels of malondialdehyde and total superoxide dismutase were detected to access the oxidative stress. Furthermore, glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) were treated with lipopolysaccharide and ISO. In the cellular experiment, the NF-κB signaling activity, levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, ICAM-1 and TGF-β1, and oxidative stress were also investigated. The results showed that ISO decreased the levels of urinary osteopontin, KIM-1 and albumin. ISO also inhibited the NF-κB signaling activity, decreased the production of inflammatory mediators and attenuated oxidative stress in diabetic rats and GMCs. The present investigations revealed that ISO had ameliorative effects on diabetes-induced renal damage and the activity may be associated with the negative regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway.
