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
Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a severe syndrome affecting the urinary system for which there are no effective therapeutics. In this study, we investigate the effects and mechanisms of aminophylline in preventing CRF development. A rat model of chronic renal failure is established by 5/6 nephrectomy. The levels of serum creatinine (SCR), urinary protein (UPR), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) are detected by ELISA. Histological evaluations of renal tissues are performed by H&E, Masson staining, and PAS staining. Functional protein expression is detected by western blot analysis or immunofluorescence microscopy. Glomerular cell apoptosis is determined using the TUNEL method. Results show that Aminophylline significantly reduces the levels of SCR, UPR, and BUN in the CRF model rats. Histological analyses show that aminophylline effectively alleviates renal tissue injuries in CRF rats. The protein expression levels of nephrin, podocin, SIRT1, p-AMPK, and p-ULK1 are greatly increased, while p-mTOR protein expression is markedly decreased by aminophylline treatment. Additionally, the protein level of LC3B in CRF rats is significantly increased by aminophylline. Moreover, aminophylline alleviates apoptosis in the glomerular tissues of CRF rats. Furthermore, resveratrol promotes SIRT1, p-AMPK, and p-ULK1 protein expressions and reduces p-mTOR and LC3B protein expressions in CRF rats. Selisistat (a SIRT1 inhibitor) mitigates the changes in SIRT1, p-AMPK, p-ULK1, p-mTOR, and LC3B expressions induced by aminophylline. Finally, RAPA alleviates renal injury and apoptosis in CRF rats, and 3-MA eliminates the aminophylline-induced inhibition of renal injury and apoptosis in CRF rats. Aminophylline suppresses chronic renal failure progression by modulating the SIRT1/AMPK/mTOR-mediated autophagy process.
