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

Injury to podocytes is a principle cause of initiation and progression of both immune and non-immune mediated glomerular diseases that result in proteinuria and decreased function of the kidney. Current advances in regenerative medicine shed light on the therapeutic potential of cell-based strategies for treatment of such disorders. Thus, there is hope that generation and transplantation of podocytes from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), could potentially be used as a curative treatment for glomerulonephritis caused by podocytes injury and loss. Despite several reports on the generation of iPSC-derived podocytes, there are rare reports about successful use of these cells in animal models. In this study, we first generated a model of anti-podocyte antibody-induced heavy proteinuria that resembled human membranous nephropathy and was characterized by the presence of sub-epithelial immune deposits and podocytes loss. Thereafter, we showed that transplantation of functional iPSC-derived podocytes following podocytes depletion results in recruitment of iPSC-derived podocytes within the damaged glomerulus, and leads to attenuation of proteinuria and histological alterations. These results provided evidence that application of iPSCs-derived renal cells could be a possible therapeutic strategy to favorably influence glomerular diseases outcomes.
