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

Ellagic acid (EA), a natural polyphenolic compound, has been proved to possess multiple biological activities including alleviating ischemic-reperfusion (I/R) injury. The aim of this current study was to investigate whether EA alleviates I/R injury via regulating inflammatory signaling pathway. Rats were subjected to ischemic-reperfusion (I/R) injury and given orally with different doses of EA before surgery. H&E staining, ELISA assay, and biochemical index analysis were performed to evaluate renal injury and inflammatory factors. Oxidative stress level was detected by DCFH-DA staining and corresponding assay kits. In addition, TUNEL assay and flow cytometric assay were applied for exploring the apoptosis of tissue and cells, respectively. Western blot assay was used to assess protein expressions in tissue and cells. The results showed that EA attenuated the renal I/R injury and reserved renal cell function in vivo. The levels of TNF-a, IL-1β, IL-6, and MCP-1, oxidative stress level, and apoptosis were suppressed in EA-treated rats. Mechanistic studies showed that EA suppressed the phosphorylation of JAK1, JAK2, and STAT1 and reduced the NOX4 level. EA reduced apoptosis, hypoxia-induced inflammatory response, and ROS levels. Moreover, overexpression of NOX4 reversed the protective function with NOX4 inhibition, indicating that the effect of EA against renal IRI or cell hypoxia/reoxygenation might mainly depend on NOX4. The results suggest that EA exerts the renoprotective effect via suppressing NOX4/JAK/STAT signaling pathway, which may be a novel potential therapy for the treatment of acute kidney injury in clinic.
