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

The treatment and management of kidney diseases pose a significant global burden. Due to the presence of blood circulation barriers and glomerular filtration barriers, drug therapy for kidney diseases faces challenges such as poor renal targeting, short half-life, and severe systemic side effects, severely hindering therapeutic progress. Therefore, the research and development of kidney-targeted therapeutic agents is of great clinical significance. In recent years, the application of nanotechnology in the field of nephrology has shown potential for revolutionizing the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases. Carefully designed nanomaterials can exhibit optimal biological characteristics, influencing various aspects such as circulation, retention, targeting, and excretion. Rationally designing and modifying nanomaterials based on the anatomical structure and pathophysiological environment of the kidney to achieve highly specific kidney-targeted nanomaterials or nanodrug delivery systems is both feasible and promising. Based on the targeted therapy of kidney diseases, this review discusses the advantages and limitations of current nanomedicine in the targeted therapy of kidney diseases, and summarizes the application and challenges of current renal active/passive targeting strategies, in order to further promote the development of kidney-targeted nanomedicine through a preliminary summary of previous studies and future prospects.
