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

Itch, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, is involved in various cellular functions by regulating ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of target proteins. However, its roles are unknown in kidney fibrosis. In the present study, the decreased expression of Itch in the renal tubules of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mice induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) or folic acid (FA) is demonstrated.
