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

backgroundCisplatin (CP) has been used as an effective chemotherapy drug for different types of cancers. Despite its therapeutic benefits, the clinical utility of CP is often hindered by adverse effects, notably acute kidney injury (AKI), which restricts its widespread application. Dihydromyricetin (DHM) is a flavonoid acquired from

methodsIn this study, the protective function of DHM against CP-induced AKI was assessed in both mice and HK-2 cells. Kidney dysfunction parameters and renal morphology were evaluated to ascertain the extent of protection. Additionally, proteomics techniques were employed to investigate the protective effect of DHM and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in mitigating CP-induced AKI. In addition, protein levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), p-EGFR, heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), p-HSP27, STAT3, and p-STAT3 in renal tissues were investigated. Furthermore, an EGFR-blocking agent (gefitinib) or si-RNA of HSP27 was used to study the effects of inhibiting EGFR or HSP27 on CP-induced renal injury.

resultsDHM decreased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine in serum, alleviated renal morphological injury and downregulated the expression of CP-induced kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase-related lipocalin. Proteomic data revealed HSP27 as a potential therapeutic target for AKI. DHM treatment resulted in the downregulation of EGFR, HSP27, and STAT3 phosphorylation, ultimately mitigating CP-induced AKI. In addition, the inhibition of EGFR or HSP27 reduced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and CP-induced cell damage in HK-2 cells.

conclusionsDHM effectively inhibited CP-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis through the EGFR/HSP27/STAT3 pathway.
