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: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome, posing a substantial healthcare burden. The pathological basis of AKI is associated with inflammation and oxidative stress which cause additional damage to mitochondria. Artesunate (ATS) is a derivative of artemisinin isolated from Methods: In this study, a novel TPP-based natural ATS-nanoliposome, namely T-A-Ls, was applied for the treatment of AKI. ATS was encapsulated with or without triphenylphosphonium (TPP)-modified nanoliposomes. AKI was induced by cisplatin in C57BL/6J mice and a cisplatin-induced injury model was generated in HK-2 cells in vitro. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr) measurements and section staining were utilized to assess renal protective effect of T-A-Ls. Inflammatory-related factors and proteins were quantified via Elisa, Immunofluorescence and Western Blot (WB). The anti-mitochondrial oxidative stress effect of T-A-Ls was determined by ROS, JC-1 and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) kits. Immunohistochemistry and WB were conducted to measure associated protein expressions. In vivo biodistribution and the concentration of T-A-Ls in kidney were also explored. Results: T-A-Ls exhibited good oxidative resistance, preferential renal uptake, mitochondrial targeting, and it ameliorated kidney injury in cisplatin-induced AKI mice. Mitochondrial dysfunction, ATP production and respiratory capacity were improved in damaged HK-2 cells; ROS content decreased while mitochondrial membrane potential recovered. T-A-Ls exerted renal protection by inhibiting inflammation and reducing oxidative stress; these effects were mediated by a downregulation in the expression of RAGE and iNOS and an upregulation in both Nrf2 and HO-1. Conclusion: T-A-Ls could improve the delivery of ATS to the kidney, offering a promising avenue to treat AKI.
