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

The role of tubular epithelial cells (TEC) senescence in the progression from acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains debated due to the complexity of senescent cell populations and their pro-survival mechanisms. To directly assess the contribution of TEC senescence to AKI-to-CKD progression, we employed an aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) mouse model. Here, we demonstrated that AAI-induced DNA damage specifically drives TEC senescence during AKI-to-CKD progression. Concomitant with the emergence of senescence, immunofluorescence staining revealed the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins, including BCL-2, BCL-xL, and MCL-1, within KIM1⁺ tubules-a marker of tubular injury. To further characterize these senescent cells, we integrated this model with snRNA-Seq data and identified a distinct population of KIM1
