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

Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are a group of immunostimulatory molecules, which take part in inflammatory response after tissue injury. Kidney-specific DAMPs include Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein, crystals, and uromodulin, released by tubular damage for example. Non-kidney-specific DAMPs include intracellular particles such as nucleus [histones, high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1)] and cytosol parts. DAMPs trigger innate immunity by activating the NRLP3 inflammasome, G-protein coupled class receptors or the Toll-like receptor. Tubular necrosis leads to acute kidney injury (AKI) in either septic, ischemic or toxic conditions. Tubular necrosis releases DAMPs such as histones and HMGB1 and increases vascular permeability, which perpetuates shock and hypoperfusion via Toll Like Receptors. In acute tubular necrosis, intracellular abundance of NADPH may explain a chain reaction where necrosis spreads from cell to cell. The nature AKI in intensive care units does not have preclinical models that meet a variation of blood perfusion or a variation of glomerular filtration within hours before catecholamine infusion. However, the dampening of several DAMPs in AKI could provide organ protection. Research should be focused on the numerous pathophysiological pathways to identify the relative contribution to renal dysfunction. The therapeutic perspectives could be strategies to suppress side effect of DAMPs and to promote renal function regeneration.
