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

Patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) for various tumors localized in the abdomen or pelvis often suffer from radiation nephrotoxicity as collateral damage. Renal podocytes are vulnerable targets for ionizing radiation and contribute to radiation-induced nephropathies. Our prior work previously highlighted the importance of the lipid-modifying enzyme sphingomyelinase acid phosphodiesterase like 3b (SMPDL3b) in modulating the radiation response in podocytes and glomerular endothelial cells. Hereby, we investigated the interplay between SMPDL3b and oxidative stress in mediating radiation injury in podocytes. We demonstrated that the overexpression of SMPDL3b in cultured podocytes (OE) reduced superoxide anion generation and NADPH oxidase activity compared to wild-type cells (WT) post-irradiation. Furthermore, OE podocytes showed downregulated levels of NOX1 and NOX4 after RT. On the other hand, treatment with the NOX inhibitor GKT improved WTs' survival post-RT and restored SMPDL3b to basal levels.
