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

The occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is elevated, one of the main causes is ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). However, no specific therapy is currently available to treat I/R-induced AKI (I/R-AKI). Treg cells have been demonstrated to perform an anti-inflammatory role in a range of autoimmune and inflammatory illnesses. However, there is limited available information about the possible functions of CD8 + CD103 + iTregs in I/R-AKI. We utilized renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) and I/R-AKI mouse model to investigate whether CD8 + CD103 + iTregs could attenuate AKI and the underlying mechanism. In vitro, co-cultured with CD8 + CD103 + iTregs alleviated H/R-induced cell injury. After treatment of CD8 + CD103 + iTregs rather than control cells, a significant improvement of I/R-AKI was observed in vivo, including decreased serum creatinine (sCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels, reduced renal pathological injury, lowered tubular apoptosis and inhibition of the transition from AKI to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Mechanically, CD8 + CD103 + iTregs alleviated H/R-induced cell injury and I/R-AKI partly by suppressing RTECs pyroptosis via inhibiting the NLRP3/Caspase-1 axis. Our study provides a novel perspective on the possibility of CD8 + CD103 + iTregs for the treatment of I/R-AKI.
