Drug repurposing opportunities for chronic kidney disease.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The development of targeted drugs for the early prevention and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is of great importance. However, the success rates and cost-effectiveness of traditional drug development approaches are extremely low. Utilizing large sample genome-wide association study data for drug repurposing has shown promise in many diseases but has not yet been explored in CKD. Herein, we investigated actionable druggable targets to improve renal function using large-scale Mendelian randomization and colocalization analyses. We combined two population-scale independent genetic datasets and validated findings with cell-type-dependent eQTL data of kidney tubular and glomerular samples. We ultimately prioritized two drug targets, opioid receptor-like 1 and F12, with potential genetic support for restoring renal function and subsequent treatment of CKD. Our findings explore the potential pathological mechanisms of CKD, bridge the gap between the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis and clinical intervention, and provide new strategies in future clinical trials of CKD.
