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

IgA nephropathy is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis and an important cause of kidney failure. Cordyceps sinensis (CS) is a parasitic fungus that has a long history of use in Chinese medicine for the treatment of nephritis. Interleukin (IL)-22-producing helper T cells (Th22 cells) have been reported to be involved in lgA nephropathy. Th22 cells link the immune response to tissue inflammation. To elucidate the possible efficacy and mechanisms by which CS counteracts nephritis, we established an IgA nephropathy model in 6-week-old female BALB/c mice. The mice were randomly separated into 3 groups, the normal control, IgA nephropathy and CS (5 mg/kg/d) treatment groups. The Th22 cell frequencies and the relative pathological and cytokine changes were measured with flow cytometry, whereas the serum chemokine ligand 27 (CCL27) and IL-22 concentrations were detected with ELISA. The Th22 cell frequency decreased after 1 month of CS therapy. Additionally, mesangial cell proliferation decreased. Moreover, the chemokine receptor type 10 (CCR10), CCL27 and IL-22 expression levels were significantly reduced. In conclusion, CS may modulate the chemotaxis of Th22 cells to suppress inflammatory responses in IgA nephropathy.
