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

Diabetes is the main cause of CKD and ESRD worldwide. Chronic activation of Janus kinase and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling contributes to diabetic nephropathy by inducing genes involved in leukocyte infiltration, cell proliferation, and extracellular matrix accumulation. This study examined whether a cell-permeable peptide mimicking the kinase-inhibitory region of suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS1) regulatory protein protects against nephropathy by suppressing STAT-mediated cell responses to diabetic conditions. In a mouse model combining hyperglycemia and hypercholesterolemia (streptozotocin diabetic, apoE-deficient mice), renal STAT activation status correlated with the severity of nephropathy. Notably, compared with administration of vehicle or mutant inactive peptide, administration of the SOCS1 peptidomimetic at either early or advanced stages of diabetes ameliorated STAT activity and resulted in reduced serum creatinine level, albuminuria, and renal histologic changes (mesangial expansion, tubular injury, and fibrosis) over time. Mice treated with the SOCS1 peptidomimetic also exhibited reduced kidney leukocyte recruitment (T lymphocytes and classic M1 proinflammatory macrophages) and decreased expression levels of proinflammatory and profibrotic markers that were independent of glycemic and lipid changes. In vitro, internalized peptide suppressed STAT activation and target gene expression induced by inflammatory and hyperglycemic conditions, reduced migration and proliferation in mesangial and tubuloepithelial cells, and altered the expression of cytokine-induced macrophage polarization markers. In conclusion, our study identifies SOCS1 mimicking as a feasible therapeutic strategy to halt the onset and progression of renal inflammation and fibrosis in diabetic kidney disease.
