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

backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI), when occurring in diabetic kidney disease (DKD), is known to be more severe and difficult to recover from. Inflammation and apoptosis may contribute to the heightened sensitivity of, and non-recovery from, AKI in patients with DKD. Resolvin D1 (RvD1) is a potent lipid mediator which can inhibit the inflammatory response and apoptosis in many diseases. However, it has been reported that the RvD1 levels were decreased in diabetes, which may explain why DKD is more susceptible to AKI.

methodsFor animal experiments, diabetic nephropathy (DN) mice were induced by streptozotocin (STZ) injection intraperitoneally. Renal ischemia-reperfusion was used to induce AKI. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine were determined using commercial kits to indicate renal function. Renal apoptosis was examined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the marker of inflammatory response. Western blot was used to detect the expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)-related proteins. For clinical study, 12 cases diagnosed with DKD were enrolled in this study, and an equal number of non-diabetic renal disease patients (NDKD) were recruited as a control group. The serum RvD1 in DKD or NDKD patients were detected through an ELISA kit.

resultsIn clinical study, we found that the serum RvD1 levels were decreased in DKD patients compared to those in NDKD patients. Decreased serum RvD1 levels were responsible for the susceptibility to ischemic AKI in DKD patients. In animal experiments, both the serum RvD1 and renal ALX levels were downregulated. RvD1 treatment could ameliorate renal function and histological damage after ischemic injury in DN mice. RvD1 treatment also could inhibit the inflammatory response. Di-

conclusionRvD1 attenuated susceptibility to ischemic AKI in diabetes by downregulating NF-κB signaling and inhibiting apoptosis. Downregulated serum RvD1 levels could be the crucial factor for susceptibility to ischemic AKI in diabetes.
