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

One third of the patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) develop cognitive impairment, which is also an independent risk factor for mortality. However, the concise mechanism of cerebro-renal interaction has not been clarified. The present study examines the effects of uremic toxins on neuronal cells and analyzes the pathological condition of the brain using mouse hippocampal neuronal HT-22 cells and adenine-induced CKD model rats. Among the uremic toxins analyzed, indoxyl sulfate, indole, 3-indoleacetate, and methylglyoxal significantly decreased viability and glutathione level in HT-22 cells. The mixture of these uremic toxins also decreased viability and glutathione level at a lower dose. Adenine-induced CKD rat showed marked renal damage, increased urinary oxidative stress markers, and increased numbers of pyknotic neuronal cells in hippocampus. CKD rats with damaged hippocampus demonstrated poor learning process when tested using the Morris water maze test. Our results suggest that uremic toxins have a toxic effect on hippocampal neuronal cells and uremic CKD rats shows pyknosis in hippocampus.
