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

Sublytic complement C5b-9 complexes can cause cell apoptosis, but the mechanism of glomerular mesangial cell (GMC) apoptosis mediated by these complexes has not been well defined. The activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) gene is an immediate early gene for the cell to cope with a variety of stress signals and can promote apoptosis of some cells. In this study, ATF3 expression and cell apoptosis in GMCs induced by sublytic C5b-9 were measured, and then the effects of ATF3 gene over-expression or knockdown on GMC apoptosis induced by sublytic C5b-9 were examined at a fixed time. The results showed that both ATF3 expression and GMC apoptosis were markedly increased and ATF3 over-expression obviously increased sublytic C5b-9-induced GMC apoptosis, whereas ATF3 gene silencing had a significant opposite effect. Collectively, these findings indicate that upregulation of ATF3 gene expression is involved in regulating GMC apoptosis induced by sublytic C5b-9 complexes.
