TLDR
It is suggested that fibrates have a place in reducing cardiovascular risk in people with mild-to-moderate CKD and reduce albuminuria and reversibly increase serum creatinine but the effects on major kidney outcomes remain unknown.

Defective fatty acid oxidation in renal tubular epithelial cells has a key role in kidney fibrosis development

TL;DR: It is found that humans and mouse models with tubulointerstitial fibrosis had lower expression of key enzymes and regulators of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and higher intracellular lipid deposition compared to controls, raising the possibility that correcting the metabolic defect in FAO may be useful for preventing and treating chronic kidney disease.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.
