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

AKI is a common clinical syndrome characterized by its complex pathophysiology and lack of effective therapeutic options, resulting in significantly increased mortality rates and a higher risk of progression to CKD. In recent years, noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators of gene expression and have been implicated in the onset and progression of AKI, particularly microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and circular RNAs. A growing body of research indicates that ncRNAs are not only involved in pathologic processes such as inflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress but also serve as promising early diagnostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets. This review systematically explores the molecular mechanisms of ncRNAs in AKI, their potential as therapeutic tools, and highlights recent advancements in the field along with the challenges of clinical translation. Ultimately, we assess whether ncRNA-targeted therapies are ready for clinical application in the management of AKI.
