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

This study was designed to evaluate whether glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) inhibitor, 4-benzyl-2-methyl-1,2,4-thiadiazolidine-3,5-dione (TDZD-8) induced the the expression of connexin 43 (Cx43) to protect against renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury (RI/RI) in rats. Rats were subjected to 45 min ischemia followed 2 h reperfusion with TDZD-8 (1 mg/kg) for 5 min prior to reperfusion. The results indicated that TDZD-8 improved the recovery of renal function, reduced oxidative stress and inflammation injury, and upregulated the expression of (Cx43) as compared to I/R group. Therefore, our study demonstrated that TDZD-8 provided a protection to the kidney against I/R injury in rats through inducing the expression of (Cx43).
