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

Renal fibrosis, resulting from the transformation of damaged tubular epithelial cells (TECs), serves as a prevalent pathological condition observed in nearly all forms of advancing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although crucial in fibrotic diseases, the association between endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and ferroptosis remains incompletely elucidated. Herein, increased levels of heat shock protein family A member 5 (HSPA5), acting as a co-molecular in ERS and ferroptosis, along with EMT-associated alterations, including increased α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and Col1a1 levels and decreased E-cad expression, were observed in fibrotic kidneys of Unilateral Ureteral Obstruction (UUO)-induced mouse models and TGF-β-induced EMT in HK-2 cells. The employment of ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) improved these alterations and reversed TGF-β-induced EMT
