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

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) occurs when the blood supply to an organ is temporarily reduced and then restored. Kidney IRI is a form of acute kidney injury (AKI), which often progresses to kidney fibrosis. Necroptosis is a regulated necrosis pathway that has been implicated in kidney IRI. Necroptotic cell death involves the recruitment of the RIPK1 and RIPK3 kinases and the activation of the terminal effector, the mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) pseudokinase. Phosphorylated MLKL causes cell death by plasma membrane rupture, driving 'necroinflammation'. Owing to their apical role in the pathway, RIPK1 and RIPK3 have been implicated in the development of kidney fibrosis. Here, we used a mouse model of unilateral kidney IRI to assess whether the inhibition of RIPK1 or RIPK3 kinase activity reduces AKI and the progression to kidney fibrosis. Mice treated with the RIPK1 inhibitor Nec-1s, either before or after IR, showed reduced kidney injury at 24 hr compared with controls, whereas no protection was offered by the RIPK3 inhibitor GSK´872. In contrast, treatment with either inhibitor from days 3 to 9 post-IR reduced the degree of kidney fibrosis at day 28. These findings further support the role of necroptosis in IRI and provide important validation for the contribution of both RIPK1 and RIPK3 catalytic activities in the progression of kidney fibrosis. Targeting the necroptosis pathway could be a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate kidney disease following IR.
