IGF IIRα-triggered pathological manifestations in the heart aggravate renal inflammation in STZ-induced type-I diabetes rats.

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
Pathological manifestations in either heart or kidney impact the function of the other and form the basis for the development of cardiorenal syndrome. However, the mechanism or factors involved in such scenario are not completely elucidated. In our study, to find the correlation between late fetal gene expression in diabetic hearts and their influence on diabetic nephropathy, we created a rat model with cardiac specific overexpression of IGF-IIRα, which is an alternative splicing variant of IGFIIR, expressed in pathological hearts. In this study, transgenic rats over expressing cardiac specific IGF-IIRα and non-transgenic animal models established in SD rats were administered with single dose of streptozotocin (STZ, 55 mg/Kg) to induce Type I diabetes. The correlation between IGF-IIRα and kidney damages were further determined based on their intensity of damage in the kidneys. The results show that cardiac specific overexpression of IGF-IIRα elevates the diabetes associated inflammation and morphological changes in the kidneys. The diabetic transgenic rats showed advancement in the pathological features such a renal tubular damage, collagen accumulation and enhancement in STAT3 associated mechanism of renal fibrosis. The results therefore show that that IGF-IIRα expression in the heart during pathological condition may worsen symptoms of diabetic nephropathy in rats.
