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

The adverse effect of cisplatin administration causes acute kidney injury (AKI) following renal inflammation and nephrotoxicity, characterized by proximal tubular cell apoptosis and necrosis. Pro-apoptotic and pro-inflammatory roles of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β have been reported. This study investigated the therapeutic blockade of GSK-3β in cisplatin-induced AKI. A renal cisplatin nephrotoxicity model showed activation of GSK-3β in vivo, particularly in proximal tubular epithelial cells. Pharmacologically inhibiting GSK-3β abolished cisplatin nephrotoxicity, including proximal tubular injury, cell cytotoxicity, and biochemical dysfunction. Additionally, GSK-3β inhibitor treatment ameliorated renal inflammation by reducing immune cell infiltration, cell adhesion molecule expression, and pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokine production. Cisplatin treatment caused GSK-3β activation in vitro in the human renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2, whereas either pharmacological administration of GSK-3β inhibitors or genetic transduction of GSK-3β short-hairpin RNA impeded cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity. These results indicate that cisplatin activates GSK-3β followed by GSK-3β-mediated renal inflammation and nephrotoxicity, contributing to AKI.
