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

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a model of clinical serious care syndrome, with high morbidity and mortality. Tacrolimus (TAC), a novel immunosuppressant that inhibits inflammatory response, plays a pivotal role in kidney diseases. In this study, LPS treated mice and cultured podocytes were used as the models of SA-AKI in vivo and in vitro, respectively. Medium- and high-dose TAC administration significantly attenuated renal function and renal pathological manifestations at 12, 24 and 48 h after LPS treatment in mice. Moreover, the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differential protein-88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor-kappa (NF-κB) signalling pathway was also dramatically inhibited by medium- and high-dose TAC administration at 12, 24 and 48 h of LPS treatment mice. In addition, TAC reversed LPS-induced podocyte cytoskeletal injury and podocyte migratory capability. Our findings indicate that TAC has protective effects against LPS-induced AKI by inhibiting TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signalling pathway and podocyte dysfunction, providing another potential therapeutic effects for the LPS-induced SA-AKI.
