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

Chymase has several functions, such as angiotensin II formation, which can promote diabetic kidney disease (DKD). In this study, we evaluated the effect of the chymase inhibitor TY-51469 on DKD in diabetic db/db mice. Diabetic mice were administered TY-51469 (10 mg/kg/day) or placebo for 4 weeks. No significant difference was observed in body weight and fasting blood glucose between TY-51469- and placebo-treated groups. However, a significant reduction in urinary albumin/creatinine ratio was observed in the TY-51469-treated group compared with the placebo-treated group. In the renal extract, chymase activity was significantly higher in placebo-treated mice than in non-diabetic db/m mice, but it was reduced by treatment with TY-51469. Both NADPH oxidase 4 expression and the oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde were significantly augmented in the placebo-treated group, but they were attenuated in the TY-51469-treated group. Significant increases of tumor necrosis factor-α and transforming growth factor-β mRNA levels in the placebo-treated group were significantly reduced by treatment with TY-51469. Furthermore, the expression of nephrin, which is a podocyte-specific protein, was significantly reduced in the placebo-treated group, but it was restored in the TY-51469-treated group. These findings demonstrated that chymase inhibition reduced albuminuria via attenuation of podocyte injury by oxidative stress.
