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.

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

introductionA recent study showed that early renal tubular injury is ameliorated in Nod-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) KO mice with rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury (RIAKI). However, the precise mechanism has not been determined. Therefore, we investigated the role of NLRP3 in renal tubular cells in RIAKI.

methodsGlycerol-mediated RIAKI was induced in NLRP3 KO and wild-type (WT) mice. The mice were euthanized 24 h after glycerol injection, and both kidneys and plasma were collected. HKC-8 cells were treated with ferrous myoglobin to mimic a rhabdomyolytic environment.

resultsGlycerol injection led to increase serum creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and renal kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) level; renal tubular necrosis; and apoptosis. Renal injury was attenuated in NLRP3 KO mice, while muscle damage and renal neutrophil recruitment did not differ between NLRP3 KO mice and WT mice. Following glycerin injection, increases in cleaved caspase-3, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), and a decrease in the glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX-4) level were observed in the kidneys of mice with RIAKI, and these changes were alleviated in the kidneys of NLRP3 KO mice. NLRP3 was upregulated, and cell viability was suppressed in HKC-8 cells treated with ferrous myoglobin. Myoglobin-induced apoptosis and lipid peroxidation were significantly decreased in siNLRP3-treated HKC-8 cells compared to ferrous myoglobin-treated HKC-8 cells. Myoglobin reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential and increased mitochondrial fission and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation levels, which were restored to normal levels in NLRP3-depleted HKC-8 cells.

conclusionsNLRP3 depletion ameliorated renal tubular injury in a murine glycerol-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) model. A lack of NLRP3 improved tubular cell viability via attenuation of myoglobin-induced mitochondrial injury and lipid peroxidation, which might be the critical factor in protecting the kidney.
