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

backgroundExcessive inflammation and apoptosis in kidneys are critical players in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI). Aromadendrin is a natural flavonoid characterized by anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and antioxidant actions. Thus, we investigated the roles and mechanisms of aromadendrin in the development of AKI.

methodsLipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to induce AKI mice, and one hour after LPS challenge, the mice received oral administration of aromadendrin or vehicle. Renal functions were assessed by measuring blood urea nitrogen and creatinine in serum. Histological changes were determined by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Apoptotic cells of renal tissues were detected by TUNEL staining. Gene expression was measured by western blotting and RT-qPCR.

resultsAromadendrin alleviated LPS-induced renal dysfunctions and histological defects in mice. Additionally, aromadendrin suppressed excessive inflammation and tissue apoptosis in the kidneys of LPS-induced AKI mice. Mechanistically, aromadendrin blocked the activation of NF-κB and MAPK pathways in LPS-induced AKI mice.

conclusionAromadendrin alleviates LPS-stimulated inflammation and tissue cell apoptosis in kidneys by inactivating the NF-κB and MAPK pathways.
