Artemisinin analogue SM934 protects against lupus-associated antiphospholipid syndrome via activation of Nrf2 and its targets.

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
Kidney is a major target organ in both antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The etiology of antiphospholipid syndrome nephropathy associated lupus nephritis (APSN-LN) is intricate and remains largely unrevealed. We proposed in present work, that generation of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs), especially those directed towards the oxidized neoepitopes, are largely linked with the redox status along with disease progression. Moreover, we observed that compromised antioxidative capacity coincided with turbulence of inflammatory cytokine profile in the kidney of male NZW×BXSB F1 mice suffered from APSN-LN. SM934 is an artemisinin derivative that has been proved to have potent immunosuppressive properties. In current study, we elaborated the therapeutic benefits of SM934 in male NZW×BXSB F1 mice, a murine model develops syndrome resembled human APS associated with SLE, for the first time. SM934 treatment comprehensively impeded autoantibodies production, inflammatory cytokine accumulation and excessive oxidative stress in kidney. Among others, we interpreted in present work that both anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects of SM934 is closely correlated with the enhancement of Nrf2 signaling and expression of its targets. Collectively, our finding confirmed that therapeutic strategy simultaneously exerting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy provide a novel feasible remedy for treating APSN-LN.
