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

Renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) are important target cells for the development of kidney-targeted drug delivery systems. Under physiological conditions, RTECs are under constant fluid shear stress (FSS) from original urine in the renal tubule and respond to changes of FSS by altering their morphology and receptor expression patterns, which may affect reabsorption and cellular uptake. Using a microfluidic system, controlled shear stress was applied to proximal tubule epithelial cell line HK-2. Next, 2-glucosamine, bovine serum albumin, and albumin nanoparticles were selected as representative carriers to perform cell uptake studies in HK-2 cells using the microfluidic platform system with controlled FSS. FSS is proven to impact the morphology of HK-2 cells and upregulate the levels of megalin and clathrin, which then led to enhanced cellular uptake efficiencies of energy-driven carrier systems such as macromolecular and albumin nanoparticles in HK-2 cells. To further investigate the effects of FSS on endocytic behavior mediated by related receptors, a mice model of acute kidney injury with reduced fluid shear stress was established. Consistent with
