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

Senescence of kidney tubules leads to tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF). Proximal tubular epithelial cells undergo stress-induced senescence during diabetes and episodes of acute kidney injury (AKI), and combining these injuries promotes the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Since TIF is crucial to progression of DKD, we examined the therapeutic potential of targeting senescence with a senolytic drug (HSP90 inhibitor) and/or a senostatic drug (ASK1 inhibitor) in a model of TIF in which AKI is superimposed on diabetes. After 8 weeks of streptozotocin-induced diabetes, mice underwent bilateral clamping of renal pedicles to induce mild AKI, followed by 28 days of reperfusion. Groups of mice (n=10-12) received either vehicle, HSP90 inhibitor (alvespimycin), ASK1 inhibitor (GS-444217), or both treatments. Vehicle-treated mice displayed tubular injury at day 3 and extensive tubular cell senescence at day 10, which remained unresolved at day 28. Markers of senescence (Cdkn1a and Cdkn2a), inflammation (Cd68, Tnf, and Ccl2), and TIF (Col1a1, Col4a3, α-Sma/Acta2, and Tgfb1) were elevated at day 28, coinciding with renal function impairment. Treatment with alvespimycin alone reduced kidney senescence and levels of Col1a1, Acta2, Tgfb1, and Cd68; however, further treatment with GS-444217 also reduced Col4a3, Tnf, Ccl2, and renal function impairment. Senolytic therapy can inhibit TIF during DKD, but its effectiveness can be improved by follow-up treatment with a senostatic inhibitor, which has important implications for treating progressive DKD.
