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

objectiveTo investigate the potential protective effect of fortunellin in sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and its underlying mechanisms.

methodsLipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated human kidney proximal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells were used as a cell model and sepsis-induced AKI was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) surgery in mice. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assays and flow cytometry analysis were performed to examine the viability of HK-2 cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to investigate the content of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)

resultsOur cell and animal experiments revealed that fortunellin exhibits significant anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties. Fortunellin counteracted LPS-induced cellular damage in HK-2 cells, enhancing cell survival and suppressing the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, fortunellin demonstrated potent antioxidant effects, reducing MDA and Fe

conclusionFortunellin ameliorates inflammation and oxidative stress in sepsis-induced AKI, possibly through the modulation of the TLR4/NF-κB pathway. These findings suggest fortunellin's potential as a therapeutic agent for sepsis-associated AKI.
