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

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is recognized as one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide, representing a rapidly growing global public health concern. Despite significant advances in understanding the complex pathophysiological mechanisms of DKD, curative treatments are currently unavailable, and the reversal of established renal injury remains an elusive goal in clinical practice. Among various pathological features, aberrant angiogenesis has been closely associated with glomerular injury and the early development of proteinuria in DKD, playing a crucial role in driving disease progression. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this pathological angiogenesis in DKD remain incompletely understood and warrant further elucidation. Recent research has increasingly implicated aquaporins (AQPs), a family of transmembrane water channel proteins, in the pathogenesis of both acute and chronic kidney disorders, including DKD. In particular, aquaporin-1 (AQP1), which is highly expressed in renal tissues, has emerged as a potential modulator of angiogenic activity within the kidney microenvironment. Although AQP1 and aberrant angiogenesis have been individually explored in the context of DKD, no comprehensive review has systematically examined their interrelationship. This review consolidates current evidence regarding the role of AQP1 in pathological angiogenesis during DKD progression, highlighting its potential significance and identifying gaps that warrant further investigation.
