Evaluation of renal damage in a bleomycin-induced murine model of systemic sclerosis.

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
Objectives: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology with a high mortality rate. Renal crisis has been reported as one of the predictors of early mortality in these patients. The present study was performed to evaluate bleomycin-induced SSc using an osmotic minipump as a possible model for the analysis of renal damage in SSc. Materials and Methods: Male CD1 mice were implanted with osmotic minipumps loaded with saline or bleomycin and sacrificed at 6 and 14 days. Histopathological analysis was performed through hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson's trichrome staining. The expression of endothelin 1 (ET-1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was also evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Results: The administration of bleomycin induced a decrease in the length of Bowman's space (3.6 μm, Conclusion: Systemic administration of bleomycin via an osmotic minipump produces histopathological changes in the kidneys, similar to kidney damage in SSc. Therefore, this model would allow the study of molecular alterations associated with SSc-related renal damage.
