Endoplasmic reticulum stress, the unfolded protein response and autophagy in kidney diseases.
Review in Nature reviews. Nephrology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 293 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Progress has been made in our understanding of the mechanisms of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis, ER stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR), as well as ER stress-induced autophagy, in the kidney. Experimental models have revealed that disruption of the UPR, including a protein that senses misfolded proteins (namely, inositol-requiring enzyme 1α) in mouse podocytes causes podocyte injury and albuminuria as mice age. Protein misfolding and ER stress are evident in various renal diseases, including primary glomerulonephritides, glomerulopathies associated with genetic mutations, diabetic nephropathy, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease and renal fibrosis. The induction of ER stress may be cytoprotective, or it may be cytotoxic by activating apoptosis. The UPR may interact in a coordinated manner with autophagy to alleviate protein misfolding and its consequences. Monitoring the excretion of ER chaperones into the urine can potentially serve as a biomarker of renal ER stress. In specific kidney diseases, the treatment of experimental animals with chemical chaperones that improve protein folding or with chaperone inducers has alleviated kidney injury. Given the limited availability of mechanism-based therapies for kidney diseases, normalization of ER stress using pharmacological agents represents a promising therapeutic approach towards preventing or arresting the progression of kidney disease.
