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

Background: Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is prominently associated with renal pathophysiology in postmenopausal women. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) H19, GAS5, MIAT, and Rian have been linked to the pathogenesis of renal injury. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the beneficial effects of daidzein on unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) induced-renal injury in ovariectomized (OVX) rats through interaction with angiotensin AT1, Mas receptors, and lncRNAs. Methods: 84 female rats were ovariectomized (OVX) two weeks before performing obstruction of the left kidney ureter (UUO). The animals were then randomly divided into four main groups (n=21): Sham+DMSO, UUO+DMSO, UUO+17β-Estradiol (E2) (positive control), and UUO+daidzein. Each main group comprised three subgroups (n=7) and were treated with saline, A779 (MasR antagonist), or losartan (AT1R antagonist) for 15 days. On day 16, the animals were euthanized, and the left kidneys were harvested for histopathology and lncRNAs expression assays. Results: UUO significantly increased kidney tissue damage score (KTDS) in the UUO rats, increased the expression of H19 and MIAT, and decreased the expression of GAS5 and Rian. Daidzein alone and in co-treatment with losartan or A779 reversed these effects. Daidzein with 1 mg/kg dose was more effective than E2. Conclusion: Daidzein alone and in co-treatment with A779 and losartan improved renal injury in UUO rats and recovered dysregulated expression of UUO-related lncRNAs through modulating MasR and AT1R receptors, associating with modulation of the expression of lncRNAs. Daidzein could be considered a renoprotective phytoestrogen substitute for E2 therapy in postmenopausal women suffering from renal diseases.
