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

BACKGROUND The present study was conducted to explore the influence of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on the adjustment of renal fibrosis after ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). MATERIAL AND METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups following right-side nephrectomy: the Sham group (without renal artery clamping), the IRI group (45 min left renal artery clamping), and the RIPC group (rats were treated daily with 3 cycles of 5 min of limb ischemia and 5 min of reperfusion on 3 consecutive days before left renal artery occlusion). After 3 months of reperfusion, the renal function and the extent of tubular injury and renal fibrosis were assessed. The expressions of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-ß1), p-Smad2, Smad2, p-Smad3, and Smad3 were also evaluated. RESULTS There was no significant difference in renal function and tubular damage among the 3 groups after 45 min of kidney ischemia followed by 3 months of reperfusion. However, an obvious increase of extracellular matrix components and alpha-SMA could be observed in the kidney tissues of the IRI group, and the changes were significantly ameliorated in rats treated with enhanced RIPC. Compared with the IRI group, the expression of TGF-ß1 and the level of p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 were decreased after the intervention of enhanced RIPC. CONCLUSIONS Enhanced RIPC ameliorated renal fibrosis after IRI in rats, which appears to be associated with inhibition of the TGF-ß1/p-Smad2/3 signalling pathway.
