Trehalose protects against cadmium-induced cytotoxicity in primary rat proximal tubular cells via inhibiting apoptosis and restoring autophagic flux.

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
Autophagy has an important renoprotective function and we recently found that autophagy inhibition is involved in cadmium (Cd)-induced nephrotoxicity. Here, we aimed to investigate the protective effect of trehalose (Tre), a novel autophagy activator, against Cd-induced cytotoxicity in primary rat proximal tubular (rPT) cells. First, data showed that Tre treatment significantly decreased Cd-induced apoptotic cell death of rPT cells via inhibiting caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway, evidenced by morphological analysis, flow cytometric and immunoblot assays. Also, administration with Tre protected rPT cells against Cd-induced lipid peroxidation. Inhibition of autophagic flux in Cd-exposed rPT cells was markedly restored by Tre administration, demonstrated by immunoblot analysis of autophagy marker proteins and GFP and RFP tandemly tagged LC3 method. Resultantly, Cd-induced autophagosome accumulation was obviously alleviated by Tre treatment. Meanwhile, blockage of autophagosome-lysosome fusion by Cd exposure was noticeably restored by Tre, which promoted the autophagic degradation in Cd-exposed rPT cells. Moreover, Tre treatment markedly recovered Cd-induced lysosomal alkalinization and impairment of lysosomal degradation capacity in rPT cells, demonstrating that Tre has the ability to restore Cd-impaired lysosomal function. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that Tre treatment alleviates Cd-induced cytotoxicity in rPT cells by inhibiting apoptosis and restoring autophagic flux.
