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 introduction of calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) into clinical practice in the late 1970s transformed organ transplantation and led to significant improvement in acute rejection episodes. However, despite their significant clinical utility, the use of these agents is hampered by the development of hypertension and nephrotoxicity, which ultimately lead to end-stage kidney disease and overt cardiovascular outcomes. There are currently no effective agents to treat or prevent these complications. Importantly, CNI-free immunosuppressive regimens lack the overall efficacy of CNI-based treatments and put patients at risk of allograft rejection. Cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), have potent vasodilator and antihypertensive properties in addition to many cytoprotective effects, but their effects on CNI-induced nephrotoxicity have not been explored. Here, we show that PVPA, a novel, orally active analog of 14,15-EET, effectively prevents the development of hypertension and ameliorates kidney injury in cyclosporine-treated rats. PVPA treatment reduced proteinuria and renal dysfunction induced by cyclosporine. PVPA inhibited inflammatory cell infiltration into the kidney and decreased renal fibrosis. PVPA also reduced tubular epithelial cell apoptosis, attenuated the generation of reactive oxygen species, and modulated the unfolded protein response that is associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress. Consistent with the in vivo data, PVPA attenuated cyclosporine-induced apoptosis of NRK-52E cells in vitro. These data indicate that the cytochrome P-450/EET system offers a novel therapeutic strategy to treat or prevent CNI-induced nephrotoxicity.
