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

Persistent mitochondrial injury occurs after acute kidney injury (AKI) and mitochondria-targeted antioxidant Mito-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) (MT) has shown benefits for AKI, but its efficiency is limited by short half-life and side effect in vivo. Self-assembling peptide (SAP) hydrogel is a robust platform for drug delivery. This study aims to develop an SAP-based carrier to slow release MT for enhancing its long-term therapeutic potency on AKI. The KLD with aspartic acid (KLDD) was designed. The microstructure and in vitro release of MT was assayed. The protective role of MT-loaded SAP (SAP-MT) hydrogel on renal mitochondrial injury, tubular apoptosis, and inflammation was evaluated in mice at five days after ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Our results showed that KLDD could self-assemble into cross-linked nanofiber hydrogel and it had lower release rate than free MT and KLD hydrogel. Compared to IRI and free MT mice, SAP-MT mice exerted reduced renal mitochondria-produced ROS (mtROS) and improved mitochondrial biogenesis and architecture. Consequently, SAP-MT mice showed less renal tubular cell apoptosis, kidney injury marker kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1) expression, lower level of pro-inflammatory factors expression, and macrophages infiltration than those of IRI and free MT mice. This study suggested that SAP-MT ameliorated IRI due to its extended mitochondrial protection role than free MT and thus improved the long-term outcomes of AKI.
