DUSP2 inhibits the progression of lupus nephritis in mice by regulating the STAT3 pathway.
Article in Open life sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
One of the most severe side effects of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is lupus nephritis (LN). To search for potential therapeutic targets in SLE is crucial for the progression of SLE. In this study, we selected C57BL/6J mice as controls and MRL/lpr mice as an LN model and obtained dual specificity phosphatase 2 (DUSP2)-overexpressed mice by injecting AAV-DUSP2 plasmid into the tail vein. Then, proteinuria, urea nitrogen, dsDNA and TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β levels were measured in each group of mice. In addition, renal histopathological damage was assessed by hematoxylin-eosin. Finally, STAT3 phosphorylation levels were detected by Western blot assay. The results showed that DUSP2 could reduce proteinuria, urea nitrogen, dsDNA and TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β levels and improve renal tissue injury in mice with LN. Mechanistically, DUSP2 inhibited STAT3 phosphorylation. These results demonstrated that DUSP2 played a role in ameliorating LN, which provided potential targets for LN research.
