The temporal gene expression landscape of rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury reveals the timing of complement activation.
Article in Communications biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury (RIAKI) involves complement activation, but its role as a therapeutic target remains unclear. We analyze urine and kidney biopsies from RIAKI patients and use a glycerol-induced mouse model to investigate complement activation and its contribution to RIAKI. Here we show that complement fragments Ba, Bb, C5a, and sC5b-9 are elevated in the urine of patients with RIAKI, and C3 staining is detected in injured tubules, often surrounded by C5aR1-expressing myeloid cells. However, pharmacologic C5 or C5aR1 inhibition fail to prevent RIAKI in mice. A kinetic analysis reveal that complement activation occurs later in the disease course, following early tubular injury and immune cell infiltration. Initial cytoprotective responses are rapidly overwhelmed, leading to tubular damage and chemokine-driven C5aR1-expressing myeloid cells recruitment. These findings suggest that complement cascade is not an initiating factor in RIAKI and underscore the multifactorial nature of this disease.
