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

Despite the therapeutic success of tenofovir (TFV) for treatment of HIV-1 infection, numerous cases of nephrotoxicity have been reported. Mitochondrial toxicity has been purported as the major target of TFV-associated renal tubulopathy but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this report, we use metabolomics and proteomics with HK-2 cells and animal models to dissect the molecular pathways underlying nephropathy caused by TFV and its more toxic analog, adefovir (ADV). Proteomic analysis shows that mitochondrial chaperone TRAP1 and mtDNA replicating protein SSBP1 were significantly down-regulated in TFV and ADV treated HK-2 cells compared with controls. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that TFV and ADV-treated HK-2 cells had accumulated glycogen, a phenotype that was also observed in mice treated with TFV and ADV. Analysis of the proteins in TCA cycle showed succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB) was nearly depleted in glucose oxidative phosphorylation pathway however certain enzymes in the glycolysis and glycogen synthesis pathway had elevated expression in TFV and ADV-treated HK-2 cells. These results suggest that TFV and ADV may cause mitochondrial dysfunction in renal tubular cells and reprogramming of glucose metabolism. The resulting glycogen accumulation may partially contribute to TFV and ADV induced renal dysfunction.
