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

Surgical crushing of stones alone has not addressed the increasing prevalence of kidney stones. A promising strategy is to tackle the kidney damage and crystal aggregation inherent in kidney stones with the appropriate therapeutic target. FKBP prolyl isomerase 5 (FKBP5) is a potential predictor of kidney injury, but its status in calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stones is not clear. This study attempted to elucidate the role and mechanism of FKBP5 in CaOx kidney stones. Lentivirus and adeno-associated virus were used to control FKBP5 expression in a CaOx kidney stone model. Transcriptomic sequencing and immunological assays were used to analyze the mechanism of FKBP5 deficiency in CaOx kidney stones. The results showed that FKBP5 deficiency reduced renal tubular epithelial cells (RTEC) apoptosis and promoted cell proliferation by downregulating BOK expression. It also attenuated cell-crystal adhesion by downregulating the expression of CDH4. In addition, it inhibited M1 polarization and chemotaxis of macrophages by suppressing CXCL10 expression in RTEC. Moreover, the above therapeutic effects were exerted by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB signaling. Finally, in vivo experiments showed that FKBP5 deficiency attenuated stone aggregation and kidney injury in mice. In conclusion, this study reveals that FKBP5 deficiency attenuates cell-crystal adhesion, reduces apoptosis, promotes cell proliferation, and inhibits macrophage M1 polarization and chemotaxis by inhibiting NF-κB signaling. This provides a potential therapeutic target for CaOx kidney stones.
