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

C1q/TNF-related protein 1 (CTRP1), a conserved protein of the C1q family, plays a key role in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, the role of CTRP1 in renal injury is unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of CTRP1 in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO)-induced renal fibrosis and to elucidate the underlying mechanism. Using gene delivery system, CTRP1 was overexpressed in the kidney, then the mice were operated to induce UUO model after adenovirus transfection. It was found that the expression of CTRP1 in the renal tissue was decreased in mice after UUO. CTRP1 overexpression decreased the kidney function and kidney weight index. Moreover, CTRP1 reduced oxidative stress and renal collagen deposition in vivo. As expected, we found that CTRP1 activated AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) and decreased NOX4 expression, while silencing AMPKα1 abolished the protective effects of CTRP1 overexpression in mice after UUO. In conclusion, CTRP1 may protect against UUO-induced renal injury via AMPK/NOX4 signaling. Our results indicate that CTRP1 exhibits potential effects to treat renal fibrosis caused by UUO.
