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

Nephrotoxicity is a common side effect of cisplatin (CSP), a widely-used anti-tumor chemotherapy drug. Acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by it is characterized by inflammation, apoptosis, and metabolic reprogramming in proximal tubule (PT) cells. However, the key pathways and upstream transcriptional regulators orchestrating these pathological changes remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify crucial transcription factors (TFs) involved in CSP-induced AKI and to explore potential therapeutic agents targeting them. An integrative multi-omics analysis of public bulk RNA-seq, proteomic, and single-cell RNA-seq datasets was performed to identify dysregulated pathways and key TFs. The expression of Krüppel-like factor 15 (KLF15), the lead candidate TF, was validated in a CSP-induced AKI mouse model (20 mg/kg intraperitoneal injection for 72 h) using RT-qPCR and Western blot. Molecular docking utilizing AutodockVina was employed to virtually screen an FDA-approved drug library for potential compounds targeting KLF15.Transcriptomics and proteomics analyses consistently identified KLF15 as a top-ranked, downregulated TF in CSP induced AKI. Single-cell analysis revealed that PT cells were the most affected, and the loss of
