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 devastating condition with major complications including death and, in some cases, progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). We have previously shown that pulsed ultrasound (pUS) can reduce kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) by activating the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. The efficacy of a spleen-targeted pUS regimen in AKI of other etiologies and its long-term impact are unclear. Using a new spleen-targeted US approach, pUS was delivered to male mice 24 h before folic acid (FA), lipopolysaccharide, or bilateral kidney IRI. Mice were monitored and assessed for markers of inflammation, renal function, and kidney fibrosis. When compared with sham, mice that received spleen-targeted pUS had reduced plasma TNFα and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) after sepsis-associated AKI, reduced plasma creatinine, and BUN after kidney IRI and reduced plasma creatinine, BUN, and kidney fibrosis after FA administration. pUS-treated mice displayed reduced myeloid cell infiltration to the kidneys after FA and IRI. In sham-treated mice, markers associated with ongoing maladaptive repair including
