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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to increased skeletal muscle fatigue, weakness, and atrophy. Previous work has implicated mitochondria within the skeletal muscle as a mediator of muscle dysfunction in CKD; however, the mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction in CKD are not entirely known. The purpose of this study was to define the impact of uremic metabolites on mitochondrial energetics. Skeletal muscle mitochondria were isolated from C57BL/6N mice and exposed to vehicle (DMSO) or varying concentrations of uremic metabolites: indoxyl sulfate, indole-3-acetic-acid, l-kynurenine, and kynurenic acid. A comprehensive mitochondrial phenotyping platform that included assessments of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) conductance and respiratory capacity, hydrogen peroxide production (
