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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease that affects more than 850 million people. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common cause of CKD, and blocking the AKI-CKD transition shows promising therapeutic potential. Herein, we found that butyrolactone I (BLI), a natural product, exerts significant nephroprotective effects, including maintenance of kidney function, inhibition of inflammatory response, and prevention of fibrosis, in both folic acid- and ureteral obstruction-induced AKI-CKD transition mouse models. Notably, BLI showed greater blood urea nitrogen reduction and anti-inflammatory effects than telmisartan. Bioinformatics analysis and target confirmation assays suggested that BLI directly binds to JAK1, and kinase inhibition assay confirmed it is a potent JAK1inhibitor with an IC
