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

Aging is a major driver for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the counterbalancing of aging processes holds promise to positively impact disease development and progression. In this study we generated a signature of renal age-associated genes (RAAGs) based on six different data sources including transcriptomics data as well as data extracted from scientific literature and dedicated databases. Protein abundance in renal tissue of the 634 identified RAAGs was studied next to the analysis of affected molecular pathways. RAAG expression profiles were furthermore analysed in a cohort of 63 CKD patients with available follow-up data to determine association with CKD progression. 23 RAAGs were identified showing concordant regulation in renal aging and CKD progression. This set was used as input to computationally screen for compounds with the potential of reversing the RAAG/CKD signature on the transcriptional level. Among the top-ranked drugs we identified atorvastatin, captopril, valsartan, and rosiglitazone, which are widely used in clinical practice for the treatment of patients with renal and cardiovascular diseases. Their positive impact on the RAAG/CKD signature could be validated in an in-vitro model of renal aging. In summary, we have (i) consolidated a set of RAAGs, (ii) determined a subset of RAAGs with concordant regulation in CKD progression, and (iii) identified a set of compounds capable of reversing the proposed RAAG/CKD signature.
