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 injury is a pivotal factor in the advancement of diabetic nephropathy (DN). The present study aimed to delineate the influence of disrupted thyroxine signaling on podocyte apoptosis in DN mouse models. We employed bioinformatics analyses, coupled with Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment assessments, to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with thyroxine signaling in both human and murine DN datasets. Subsequently, we elucidated the function of thyroid hormone receptor α1 (THRA1) and nuclear receptor co-repressor 1 (NCOR1) on glomerular injury and podocytes apoptosis under hypothyroid and hyperglycemic conditions, respectively. Our findings highlight that hypothyroidism significantly alters glomerular gene expression profiles in DN mice leading to increased podocyte apoptosis. This effect occurs through a dual mechanism: on one hand, the upregulation of THRA1 expression induced by DN results in direct glomerular injury, which was further aggravated by hypothyroidism; on the other hand, the downregulation of NCOR1 expression thereby increases THRA1 activity levels. Our data suggests that disturbed thyroxin signals could trigger podocyte apoptosis and glomerular injury in DN mice, offering new insights into DN pathogenesis while laying groundwork for innovative therapeutic strategies.
