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

This research examined the potential of novel GPR40/PPARδ dual agonists, HWL-088 and ZLY-032, to protect the kidneys in a mouse model of adenine-induced renal fibrosis. Mice were given a diet containing 0.25 % adenine to develop renal fibrosis and then received different dosages of HWL-088 or ZLY-032. After being euthanized, tissue and serum samples were collected for morphological, histological, and molecular examination. Compared to the control group, mice fed adenine showed an increase in kidney-to-body weight ratio, serum creatinine, and urea levels. Hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed alleviated glomerulosclerosis, tubular dilation, and inflammatory cell infiltration in mice treated with HWL-088 or ZLY-032. Furthermore, Masson staining and immunohistochemistry demonstrated that these dual agonists protected against renal interstitial fibrosis and inflammation, corroborated by decreased expression levels of fibrosis-related proteins (TGF-β, Collα1, TIMP-1) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6). Accordingly, it can be inferred that GPR40/PPARδ dual agonists HWL-088 and ZLY-032 could yield significant renoprotective effects by inhibiting inflammation and fibrosis. Overall, these results may contribute to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for renal fibrosis.
