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

purpose of reviewMesangial cells are critical for the proper function of the glomerulus, playing roles in structural support and injury repair. However, they are also early responders to glomerular immune complex deposition and contribute to inflammation and fibrosis in lupus nephritis. This review highlights recent studies identifying signaling pathways and mediators in mesangial cell response to lupus-relevant stimuli. RECENT

findingsAnti-dsDNA antibodies, serum, or plasma from individuals with lupus nephritis, or specific pathologic factors activated multiple signaling pathways. These pathways largely included JAK/STAT/SOCS, PI3K/AKT, and MAPK and led to induction of proliferation and expression of multiple proinflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and profibrotic factors. NFκB activation was a common mediator of response. Mesangial cells proliferate and express a wide array of proinflammatory/profibrotic factors in response to a variety of lupus-relevant pathologic stimuli. While some of the responses are similar, the mechanisms involved appear to be diverse depending on the stimulus. Future studies are needed to fully elucidate these mechanisms with respect to the diverse milieu of stimuli.
