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

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a pivotal driver in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). The kidneys, second only to the heart in mitochondrial density, rely on oxidative phosphorylation to meet the high ATP demands of solute reabsorption and filtration. Disrupted mitochondrial dynamics, such as excessive fission mediated by Drp1, exacerbate tubular apoptosis and inflammation in AKI models like ischemia-reperfusion injury. In CKD, persistent mitochondrial dysfunction drives oxidative stress, fibrosis, and metabolic reprogramming, with epigenetic mechanisms (DNA methylation, histone modifications, non-coding RNAs) regulating genes critical for mitochondrial homeostasis, such as
