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

Arterial calcification is a powerful predictor of both the events and mortality associated with cardiovascular diseases in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. GLS1 (glutaminase 1), a rate-limiting enzyme catalyzing the conversion of glutamine to glutamate, is disordered in various cardiovascular diseases. However, the potential interplay between GLS1-mediated glutamate production and arterial calcification remains poorly understood. Here, LC-MS/MS analysis of CKD patients' samples shows an abnormally elevated activity of GLS1, reflected by the increased glutamate/glutamine ratio. Moreover, GLS1 activity is positively correlated with arterial calcification progression, and its expression is upregulated in calcified arteries. Treatment with GLS1 inhibitors or knockdown of GLS1 alleviates osteogenic reprogramming. In contrast, glutamate administration boosts the development of arterial calcification. Mechanistically, GLS1 redundancy-regulated glutamate superfluity stimulates the activation of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDAR), leading to Ca
