Lipotoxicity, Nutrient-Sensing Signals, and Autophagy in Diabetic Nephropathy.
Review in JMA journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of proteinuria, kidney fibrosis, and subsequent end-stage renal disease. The renal prognosis of diabetic patients with refractory proteinuria is extremely poor. Therefore, identification of novel therapeutic targets to combat this serious condition and improve renal prognosis is urgently necessary. In diabetic patients, in addition to blood glucose levels, serum levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) are chronically elevated, even during postprandial periods. Of the various types of FFAs, saturated FFAs are highly cytotoxic and their levels are elevated in the serum of patients with diabetes. Thus, an increase in saturated FFAs is currently thought to contribute to proximal tubular cell damage and podocyte injury in diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, protecting both types of kidney cells from saturated FFA-related lipotoxicity may become a novel therapeutic approach for diabetic patients with refractory proteinuria. Interestingly, accumulating evidence suggests that controlling intracellular nutrient signals and autophagy can ameliorate the FFA-related kidney damage. Here, we review the evidence indicating possible mechanisms underlying cell injury caused by saturated FFAs and cell protective roles of intracellular nutrient signals and autophagy in diabetic nephropathy.
