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

aimThe purpose of this study was to explore whether mTOR/p70S6K1 signaling is activated in renal fibrosis of immunoglobulin A nephropathy.

methodsSeventy-two children with immunoglobulin A nephropathy were divided into three groups according to their clinical features and pathological grades. Six normal renal specimens were included in the control group. The expression levels of angiotensin II, mTOR, p70S6K1, E-cadherin, and α-smooth muscle actin in renal tissues were determined by immunohistochemistry method, the potential correlations of these indexes and relationship between these indexes and the clinicopathological indexes were analyzed.

resultsCompared to the control group, the expression levels of angiotensin II, mTOR, p70S6K1, and α-smooth muscle actin were significantly higher and the expression levels of E-cadherin were lower both in glomeruli and tubulointerstitium of immunoglobulin A nephropathy children. And the most significant differences were found in the nephrotic syndrome group and pathological grade IV group. In immunoglobulin A nephropathy renal tissues, the expression levels of angiotensin II in glomeruli and tubulointerstitium were both positively correlated with the expression levels of mTOR and α- smooth muscle actin, and negatively correlated with the expression levels of E-cadherin.

conclusionThe mTOR/p70S6K1 signaling was activated in renal tissues of children with immunoglobulin A nephropathy, and future studies will need to address the mechanism of mTOR/p70S6K1 signaling in the progress of renal fibrosis in immunoglobulin A nephropathy.
