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

Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) significantly worsens patient prognosis, and recent evidence suggests that the injury process begins early and may be sustained by therapies used to treat the sepsis (e.g., fluids resuscitation, antibiotics). While efforts to develop less-injurious treatments are making progress, some degree of secondary injury is to be expected. So too is the inevitable nature of organ injury, which is often present at the time the patient seeks medical attention. We recently found that most patients presenting with septic shock and developing AKI had evidence of kidney damage at the time of, or within 24 h of their admission. In such patients, prevention is not a viable option, as injury has already occurred by the time of presentation. Since S-AKI patients are at increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease, a fundamental target for interventions in S-AKI is to prevent fibrosis (maladaptive repair) while stimulating regeneration (proliferation of viable epithelial cells). Using a pathway-agnostic, proliferation-based phenotypic assay, we discovered phenylthiobutanoic acid, a small molecule histone deacetylase inhibitor, that enhances renal recovery and reduces fibrosis in both zebrafish and mouse models of AKI.
