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

RANTES (Regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted), recruits circulating leukocytes and augments inflammatory responses in many clinical conditions. Inflammatory responses in ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) significantly affect the unfavorable outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI), and that infiltrating immune cells are important mediators of AKI. However, the significance of RANTES in AKI and whether hypoxia-induced LncRNAs are involved in the regulatory process of AKI are not known. Here we show that, in the kidney IRI mice model, significant RANTES expression was observed in renal tubular cells of wild type mice. RANTES deficient (RANTES(-/-)) mice showed better renal function by reducing the acute tubular necrosis, serum creatinine levels, infiltration of inflammatory cells and cytokine expressions compared to wild type. In vitro, we found that RANTES expression was regulated by NF-κB. Further, renal tubular cells showed deregulated LncRNA expression under hypoxia. Among HIF-1α dependent LncRNAs, PRINS (Psoriasis susceptibility-related RNA Gene Induced by Stress) was significantly up regulated in hypoxic conditions and had specific interaction with RANTES as confirmed through reporter assay. These observations show first evidence for RANTES produced by renal tubular cells act as a key chemokine in AKI and HIF-1α regulated LncRNA-PRINS might be involved in RANTES production.
