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

Acute kidney injury (AKI) transformed to chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a critical clinical issue characterized by tubulointerstitial inflammation (TII) and fibrosis. However, the exact mechanism remains largely unclear. In this study, we used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to obtain a high-resolution profile of T cells in AKI to CKD transition with a mice model of unilateral ischemia-reperfusion injury (uIRI). We found that T cells accumulated increasingly with the progression of AKI to CKD, which was categorized into 9 clusters. A notably increased proportion of CD8 T cells via self-proliferation occurred in the early stage of AKI was identified. Further study revealed that the CD8 T cells were recruited through CXCL16-CXCR6 pathway mediated by macrophages. Notably, CD8 T cells induced endothelial cell apoptosis via Fas ligand-Fas signaling. Consistently, increased CD8 T cell infiltration accompanied with peritubular capillaries (PTCs) rarefaction was observed in uIRI mice. More impressively, the loss of PTCs and renal fibrosis was remarkably ameliorated after the elimination of CD8 T cells. In summary, our study provides a novel insight into the role of CD8 T cells in the transition from AKI to CKD via induction of PTCs rarefaction, which could suggest a promising therapeutic target for AKI.
