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

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common critical clinical disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) is the main cause of AKI, and there is no effective treatment or prevention. Therefore, it is critical to screen for effective therapeutic agents and to find therapeutic targets. DKS26 is a derivative of oleanolic acid (OA) optimized for bioavailability while retaining the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic properties of OA. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of DKS26 on AKI and its underlying molecular mechanisms. We established an AKI model in vivo and in vitro and observed that DKS26 had an ameliorative effect on IR or H/R-induced renal tubular epithelial cell injury and reduced oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Meanwhile, Swiss TargetPrediction and AutoDock Vina analysis revealed that DKS26 may interact with vitamin D receptors (VDR) through hydrogen bonding, suggesting that DKS26 may exert effects through VDR. In this study, we found that DKS26 treatment enhanced the stability of the VDR protein, promoted the binding of VDR to
