Calcitriol Ameliorates AngiotensinII-Induced Renal Injury Partly via Upregulating A20.
Article in Inflammation, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Inflammation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) play crucial roles in the progression of chronic kidney diseases. Vitamin D has been shown anti-inflammatory effects, but the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. Here, we investigated whether calcitriol exerts protective effects via upregulating A20 in angiotensinII (AngII)-induced renal injury. Male C57BL/6 mice were infused with vehicle or AngII for 10 days. Calcitriol reduced infiltration of T lymphocytes and macrophages. This reduction of inflammatory cells was accompanied by elevated A20 and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines (PICs) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Calcitriol could inhibit NF-κB activation and necroptotic pathway. Induction of A20 was located primarily to the tubular epithelial cells. In rat proximal tubular epithelial cells (NRK-52E), calcitriol stably upregulated A20 and reduced the PICs and ROS. Inhibitory effect of A20 on PICs and ROS depended on suppressing NF-κB pathway and necroptotic pathway, respectively. A20 knockdown diminished the effect of calcitriol on suppressing NF-κB and necroptotic pathways. However, A20 deficiency could not abrogate the inhibitory effect of calcitriol on NF-κB and necroptotic pathways. Our results established that A20 is involved in the renoprotective effect by calcitriol via negatively modulating the NF-κB pathway and necroptotic pathway in AngII-induced renal injury.
