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

In the fibrotic kidney, tubular epithelial cells express CCN2, formerly known as connective tissue growth factor. Because little is known about the transcriptional regulation of this profibrotic protein, this study investigated the mechanism underlying epithelial cell-selective upregulation of CCN2 in fibrosis. It was found that a previously unidentified cis-regulatory element located in the promoter of the murine CCN2 gene plays an essential role in basal and TGF-beta1-induced gene transcription in tubular epithelial cells; this element acts in conjunction with the Smad-binding element and the basal control element-1. By protein mass fingerprint analysis and de novo sequencing, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) was identified as a trans-acting protein factor that binds to this promoter region, which we termed the PARP-1-binding element. In vivo, knockdown of PARP-1 in proximal tubular epithelial cells significantly reduced CCN2 mRNA levels and attenuated interstitial fibrosis in the obstructed kidney. Thus, the PARP-1/PARP-1 binding element complex functions as a nonspecific, fundamental enhancer of both basal and induced CCN2 gene transcription in tubular epithelial cells. This regulatory complex may be a promising target for antifibrotic therapy.
