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

Renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF) is a hallmark in the continuous progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), in which excessive activation of the renin‑angiotensin‑-aldosterone system serves a crucial role. Currently, there are no targeted therapies for the progression of TIF. microRNA (miR)‑26a may be an ideal anti‑fibrosis candidate molecule; however, the effect of miR‑26 on aldosterone (ALD)‑induced TIF remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the role of miR‑26a in ALD‑induced TIF. In the present study, we hypothesized that delivery of miR‑26a by exosomes could attenuate ALD‑induced TIF. miR‑26a expression was downregulated in the kidney of ALD‑induced mice compared with the mice in the sham group. Exosome‑encapsulated miR‑26a (Exo‑miR‑26a) was manufactured and injected into ALD‑treated mice through the tail vein.
