The pathological significance of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 in endothelial cell homeostasis and kidney fibrosis.
Article in Diabetology international, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Endothelial dysfunction and tubulointerstitial fibrosis are characteristics of diabetic kidneys. Recent evidence has suggested that the diabetic kidney is associated with dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 overexpression in endothelial cells. Several insults can induce endothelial cells to alter their phenotype into a mesenchymal-like phenotype via endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), which plays pivotal roles in tissue fibrosis. We have recently revealed the fibrogenic role of DPP-4 through the induction of EndMT in diabetic kidneys. This review mainly focuses on the biological and pathological significance of DPP-4 overexpression in endothelial cells through the mechanisms of endothelial homeostasis defects, EndMT, and kidney fibrosis.
