Enhanced Autophagic Flux, Suppressed Apoptosis and Reduced Macrophage Infiltration by Dasatinib in Kidneys of Obese Mice.
Article in Cells, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Obesity causes renal changes (ORC), characterized by defective renal autophagy, lipogenesis, enhanced macrophage infiltration and apoptosis. We hypothesize that Dasatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, may ameliorate changes associated with obesity. We the mice with either Obesogenic diet (OD) or a standard basal diet. After 12 weeks, the mice received either vehicle or Dasatinib 4 mg/kg/d for an additional four weeks. We examined serum creatinine, urea, lipid profile and renal cortical mRNA expression for lipogenesis marker SREBP1, inflammatory macrophage marker iNOS and fibrosis markers; TGFβ and PDGFA genes; immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for CD68; inflammatory macrophage marker and ASMA; fibrosis marker, LC3 and SQSTM1/P62; autophagy markers and western blotting (WB) for caspase-3; and, as an apoptosis marker, LC3II/I and SQSTM1/P62 in addition to staining for H&E, PAS, Sirius red and histopathological scoring. Dasatinib attenuated renal cortical mRNA expression for SREBP1, iNOS, PDGFA and TGFβ and IHC staining for CD68, ASMA and SQSTM1/P62 and WB for caspase-3 and SQSTM1/P62, while elevating LC3 expression. Moreover, Dasatinib ameliorated ORC; glomerulosclerosis, glomerular expansion, tubular dilatation, vacuolation and casts; inflammatory cellular infiltration; and fibrosis. Dasatinib is a promising therapy for ORC by correcting autophagy impairment, attenuating lipogenesis, apoptosis and macrophage infiltration by inducing antifibrotic activity.
