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

Primary cilia are widely regarded as specialized sensors in differentiated cells that have been implicated in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and viability. We have previously shown that shortening of primary cilia sensitizes cultured kidney tubular cells to cisplatin-induced apoptosis. Intraflagellar transport 88 (IFT88) is an essential component for ciliogenesis and maintenance. Here, we have further examined the effect of proximal tubule-specific IFT88 ablation on cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study, more severe AKI occurred in IFT88 knockout mice than age- and sex-matched wild-type mice. Mechanistically, cisplatin stimulated autophagy in kidney tubular cells as an intrinsic protective mechanism. However, renal autophagy was severely impaired in IFT88 knockout mice. In cultured HK-2 cells, cisplatin induced more apoptosis when IFT88 was knocked down. Tat-beclin 1 peptide, a specific autophagy activator, could partially prevent IFT88-associated cell death during cisplatin treatment, although cilium length was not improved significantly. Reexpression of IFT88 partially restored autophagy in IFT88 knockdown cells and suppressed apoptosis during cisplatin treatment. Taken together, these results indicate that defective autophagy in IFT88-deficient kidney cells and tissues contributes to the exaggerated AKI following cisplatin exposure.
