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

Butyrate is short‑chain fatty acid, which is produced by intestinal microbiota metabolizing dietary fibers. Butyrate participates in various physiological processes predominantly by activating G‑coupled‑receptors, inhibiting histone deacetylases (HDACs) and serving as an energy substrate. Previous studies have shown that butyrate plays a protective role in diabetic nephropathy (DN); however, the exact mechanism remains unclear. The present study identified that providing sodium butyrate (NaBu) by gavage relieved renal damage and apoptosis in db/db mice, which is a widely used type 2 DN model. In vitro, NaBu suppressed high glucose (HG)‑induced apoptosis in normal rat kidney tubular epithelial (NRK‑52E) cells. Of the eleven HDACs (HDAC1‑11) studied, only the mRNA expression of HDAC2 was attenuated by NaBu in NRK‑52E cells under the HG condition. Overexpression of HDAC2 offset the anti‑apoptotic effect of NaBu. NaBu also suppressed HG‑induced oxidative stress. Additionally, H2O2 induced an upregulation of HDAC2 in NRK‑52E cells, while NaBu inhibited this process. Mechanistically, NaBu acted as an antioxidant in HG‑induced NRK‑52E cells and suppressed HG‑induced apoptosis of NRK‑52E cells through inhibiting HDAC2 by virtue of its anti‑oxidative property.
