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

Septic acute kidney injury (AKI) is the commonest cause of complication of sepsis in intensive care units, but its pathophysiology remains unclear. Calprotectin (S100A8/A9), which is a damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) molecule, exerts a critical role in modulating leukocyte recruitment and inflammatory response during various diseases. However, role of S100A8/A9 in septic AKI is largely unknown. In this research, Septic AKI was triggered by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) operation in wild-type mice, which treated with or without an S100A9 inhibitor, Paquinimod (Paq, 10 mg/kg) that prevents S100A8/A9 to bind to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Renal function, pathological changes, cell death, and oxidative stress were evaluated. Our research indicated that the mRNA and protein expression of S100A9 are time-dependently elevated in the kidney following CLP. Moreover, the administration of Paq for 24 h significantly improved CLP-induced renal dysfunction and pathological alterations compared with vehicle treatment in mice. These beneficial effects were associated with the inhibition of CLP-triggered renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis, inflammation, superoxide production, and mitochondrial dynamic imbalance. What's more, we further confirmed the above findings by cell co-culture experiments. Our study demonstrates that S100A9 is a prominent protein to lead to septic AKI, and the selective inhibition of S100A9 could represent a new therapeutic approach which can treat septic AKI.
