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 Notoginsenoside R1 (NR) is a major dynamic constituent of Panax notoginseng found to possess anti-inflammatory activity against various inflammatory diseases. However, its protective effects against renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury have not been elucidated. In male Wistar rats, we induced I/R under general anesthesia by occluding the renal artery for 60 min, followed by reperfusion and right nephrectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Rats were randomized to 4 groups: a sham group, an I/R group, an NR-pretreated (50 mg/kg) before I/R induction group, and an NR control group. All animals were killed at 72 h after I/R induction. Blood and renal tissues were collected, and histological and basic renal function parameters were assessed. In addition, levels of various kidney markers and proinflammatory cytokines were measured using RT-PCR, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry analysis. RESULTS After I/R induction, the onset of renal dysfunction was shown by the elevated levels of serum urea, creatinine levels, and histological evaluation, showing a 2-fold increase in the renal failure markers kim-1 and NGAL compared to control rats. Rats pretreated with NR before I/R induction had significantly better renal functions, with attenuated levels of oxidative markers, restored levels of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), tumor growth factor-ß1 (TGF-ß1), INF-γ, and IL-6, and increased anti-inflammatory cytokine levels (IL-10) compared to I/R-induced rats. CONCLUSIONS NR suppressed I/R-induced inflammatory cytokines production by suppressing oxidative stress and kidney markers, suggesting that NR is a promising drug candidate for prevention, progression, and treatment of renal dysfunction.
