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

Kidney disease (KD) is a progressive and life-threatening illness that has manifested into a global health crisis, impacting >10% of the general population. Hallmarks of KD include tubular interstitial fibrosis, renal tubular cell atrophy/necrosis, glomerulosclerosis, persistent inflammation, microvascular endothelial cell (MV-EC) dysfunction/rarefaction, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Following acute kidney injury (AKI), and/or during KD onset/progression, MV-ECs of the renal peritubular endothelial capillaries (RPECs) are highly susceptible to injury, dysfunction, and rarefaction. Pharmacological induction of mitochondrial biogenesis (MB) via 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1F (HTR1F) agonism has been shown to enhance mitochondrial function and renal vascular recovery post-AKI in mice; however, little is known about MB in relation to renal MV-ECs and RPEC repair mechanisms. To address this gap in knowledge, the in vitro effects of the potent and selective FDA-approved HTR1F agonist lasmiditan were tested on primary mouse renal peritubular endothelial cells (MRPECs). Lasmiditan increased mitochondrial maximal respiration rates, mRNA and protein expression of MB-related genes, and mitochondrial number in MRPECs. MRPECs were then exposed to pro-inflammatory agents associated with renal MV-EC dysfunction, AKI, and KD (i.e., lipopolysaccharides, transforming growth factor-β1, and tumor necrosis factor-α), in the presence/absence of lasmiditan. Lasmiditan treatment augmented MRPEC wound healing, endothelial tubular network formation (ETNF), enhanced barrier integrity, and blunted inflammatory-induced MV-EC dysfunctions. Together, these data suggest that lasmiditan induces MB and improves wound healing and ETNF of primary MRPECs in the presence/absence of pro-inflammatory agents, highlighting a potential therapeutic role for lasmiditan treatment in renal MV-EC dysfunction, AKI, and/or KD.
