C/EBPδ Mediates Immunity to Renal Autoinflammatory Disorders in a Stage-specific Manner.
Article in Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Kidney disease represents a major medical and economic burden for which improved treatments are urgently needed. Emerging data have implicated Th17 cells and IL-17 signaling in the underlying pathogenesis of autoantibody-induced glomerulonephritis (AGN). However, the downstream transduction pathways mediated by IL-17 in autoimmunity are not well defined. In this article, we show that CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) δ is elevated in kidney biopsies from multiple manifestations of human AGN. C/EBPδ is similarly upregulated in a mouse model of anti-glomerular basement membrane protein-mediated kidney disease, and Cebpd-/- mice were fully refractory to disease. Although C/EBPδ is expressed in a variety of cell types, C/EBPδ was required only in the radioresistant compartment to drive GN pathology. C/EBPδ induced expression of several IL-17-induced kidney injury markers and cytokines implicated in disease, including Il6 and Lcn2. Because mouse AGN models do not progress to fibrosis, we employed a nephrotoxic injury model using aristolochic acid I to assess the contribution of the IL-17-C/EBPδ pathway to renal fibrotic events. Surprisingly, deficiency of either C/EBPδ or the IL-17 receptor caused kidney fibrosis to be enhanced. Thus, C/EBPδ and IL-17 play divergent and apparently stage-specific roles in the pathogenesis of kidney disease.
