Proximal tubular RAGE mediated the renal fibrosis in UUO model mice via upregulation of autophagy.
Article in Cell death & disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Previous studies reported that RAGE participated in the process of kidney fibrosis, but the function and regulation pathway of RAGE in proximal tubular cells in this process remains unclear. Here, we found that expression of RAGE was increased by TGF-β1 treatment and unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Knock down of RAGE ameliorated renal fibrosis by TGF-β1 treatment, the expression of vimentin, Collagen I&III, and fibronectin are decreased. Mechanistically, RAGE mediated TGF-β1-induced phosphorylation of Stat3 and directly upregulated the Atg7 to increase the level of autophagy, and ultimately resulting in renal fibrosis. Furthermore, PT-RAGE-KO mice reduced kidney fibrosis in UUO model via inhibiting Stat3/Atg7 axis by knocking down RAGE. Furthermore, the above findings were confirmed in kidney of patients with obstructive nephropathy. Collectively, RAGE in proximal tubular cells promotes the autophagy to increase renal fibrosis via upregulation of Stat3/Atg7 axis.
