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

Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD), a major precursor to end-stage renal disease, involves mitochondrial dysfunction in proximal renal tubular cells (PTCs), contributing to its pathogenesis. Estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) is essential for mitochondrial integrity in PTCs, yet its regulation in DKD is poorly understood. This study investigates ERRα expression and its regulatory mechanisms in DKD, assessing its therapeutic potential. Using genetic, biochemical, and cellular approaches, ERRα expression Was examined in human DKD specimens and DKD mouse models. We identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase retinoblastoma binding protein 6 (RBBP6) as a regulator of ERRα, promoting its degradation through K48-linked polyubiquitination at the K100 residue. This degradation pathway significantly contributed to mitochondrial injury in PTCs of DKD models. Notably, conditional ERRα overexpression or RBBP6 inhibition markedly reduced mitochondrial damage in diabetic mice, highlighting ERRα's protective role in maintaining mitochondrial integrity. The interaction between RBBP6 and ERRα opens new therapeutic avenues, suggesting that modulating RBBP6-ERRα interactions could be a strategy for preserving mitochondrial function and slowing DKD progression.
