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
Introduction: Aged kidney is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, and fibrogenesis. The activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays an important role in the initiation of kidney aging. However, the inhibiting strategies have not been discovered in detail. Here, we compared the therapeutic effects of two β-catenin inhibitors, KYA1797K and ICG-001, to assess their superiority. Methods: Two-month-old male C57BL/6 mice which had undergone unilateral nephrectomy and received D-galactose (D-gal) injection were co-treated with KYA1797K or ICG-001 at 10 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks. Human proximal renal tubular cells were treated with D-gal and KYA1797K/ICG-001 to compare their effects. Results: Compared with ICG-001, which inhibits β-catenin pathway through blocking the binding of β-catenin and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB)-binding protein (CBP), KYA1797K, a novel small molecule destabilizing β-catenin through activating Axin-GSK3β complex, possesses the superior effects on protecting against kidney aging. In D-gal-treated accelerated aging mice, KYA1797K could greatly inhibit β-catenin pathway, preserve mitochondrial homeostasis, repress cellular senescence, and retard age-related kidney fibrosis. In cultured proximal tubular cells, KYA1797K shows a better effect on inhibiting cellular senescence and could better suppress mitochondrial dysfunction and ameliorate the fibrotic changes, at the same dose as that in ICG-001. Conclusion: These results show that effectively eliminating β-catenin is a necessity to target against age-related kidney injury, suggesting the multiple transcriptional regulation of β-catenin in kidney aging besides T-cell factor/lymphoid enhancer-binding factor family of transcription factors (TCF/LEF-1).
