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

A variety of stress stimuli, including ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, induce the transcriptional repressor ATF3 in the kidney. The functional consequences of this upregulation in ATF3 after renal I/R injury are not well understood. Here, we found that ATF3-deficient mice had higher renal I/R-induced mortality, kidney dysfunction, inflammation (number of infiltrating neutrophils, myeloperoxidase activity, and induction of IL-6 and P-selectin), and apoptosis compared with wild-type mice. Furthermore, gene transfer of ATF3 to the kidney rescued the renal I/R-induced injuries in the ATF3-deficient mice. Molecular and biochemical analysis revealed that ATF3 interacted directly with histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and recruited HDAC1 into the ATF/NF-kappaB sites in the IL-6 and IL-12b gene promoters. The ATF3-associated HDAC1 deacetylated histones, which resulted in the condensation of chromatin structure, interference of NF-kappaB binding, and inhibition of inflammatory gene transcription after I/R injury. Taken together, these data demonstrate epigenetic regulation mediated by the stress-inducible gene ATF3 after renal I/R injury and suggest potential targeted approaches for acute kidney injury.
