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

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in individuals with diabetes, and it is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide. Stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1) is present in various tissues, and it has antioxidant and anti-apoptotic activities, which play a role in kidney protection, including diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, the mechanism that underlies these effects remains unknown. This study suggests that STC-1 ameliorates oxidative stress and cell apoptosis in the kidneys of db/db mice and high glucose (HG)-treated BUMPT cells by inhibiting Bnip3 expression through AMPK/Sirt3 pathway activation. In the clinic, DKD patients with high levels of STC-1 have a better prognosis than patients with low STC-1 levels. Thus, we concluded that STC-1 ameliorates renal injury in DN by inhibiting the expression of Bnip3 through the AMPK/SIRT3 pathway and that serum STC-1 is independently associated with DKD progression in patients with type 2 diabetes. As high STC-1 levels indicate a better prognosis, synthetic STC-1 may become a potential drug for the treatment of DKD patients.
