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

Podocyte injury and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various glomerular diseases. ERdj3 (DNAJB11) and mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) are ER chaperones lacking the KDEL motif, and may be secreted extracellularly. Since podocytes reside in the urinary space, we examined if podocyte injury is associated with secretion of KDEL-free ER chaperones from these cells into the urine, and if chaperones in the urine reflect ER stress in glomerulonephritis. In cultured podocytes, ER stress increased ERdj3 and MANF intracellularly and in culture medium, whereas GRP94 (KDEL chaperone) increased only intracellularly. ERdj3 and MANF secretion was blocked by the secretory trafficking inhibitor, brefeldin A. Urinary ERdj3 and MANF increased in rats injected with tunicamycin (in the absence of proteinuria). After induction of passive Heymann nephritis (PHN) and puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis (PAN), there was an increase in glomerular ER stress, and appearance of ERdj3 and MANF in the urine, coinciding with the onset of proteinuria. Rats with PHN were treated with the chemical chaperone, 4-phenyl butyrate (PBA), starting at the time of disease induction, or after disease was established. In both protocols, 4-PBA reduced proteinuria and urinary ER chaperone secretion, compared with PHN rats treated with saline (control). In conclusion, urinary ERdj3 and MANF reflect glomerular ER stress. 4-PBA protected against complement-mediated podocyte injury and the therapeutic response could be monitored by urinary ERdj3 and MANF.
