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

Podocyte damage is a central feature of lupus nephritis (LN), making the identification of potential therapeutic targets to prevent podocyte injury and improve treatment outcomes essential. ORM1 has been suggested as a significant candidate gene in LN. In this study, mouse podocytes were induced using Immunoglobulin G (IgG) extracted from lupus patients. To investigate the role of ORM1, ORM1 knockdown was performed, and the effects on podocyte viability and apoptosis were assessed using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry. Additionally, autophagy markers LC3II/I and p62 were measured by western blotting and immunofluorescence, and the expression of the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway was evaluated using western blotting. The results showed an upregulation of ORM1 in the LN model. Upon stimulation with IgG from LN patients, ORM1 knockdown reversed the reduction in podocyte viability, decreased the apoptosis rate, and reduced the elevated levels of autophagy, followed by an increase in AMPK phosphorylation and a decrease in mTOR phosphorylation. In conclusion, these results suggest that ORM1 modulates the expression of autophagy-related components in podocytes through the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway, thereby influencing podocyte damage in the LN model in vitro.
