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

backgroundThis study was aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms of hypertensive nephropathy (HTN).

methodsGene expression profile of GSE37460, which based on 27 healthy living donor samples (HTN group) and 15 hypertensive nephropathy samples (control group), were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between two groups were identified. STRING database was used to reveal protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs, followed by the functional enrichment analysis of the PPI network. Additionally, miRNA-DEG regulatory network was constructed to reveal the validated miRNAs targeting the DEGs.

resultsIn total, 51 up-regulated genes and 140 down-regulated genes were obtained. In the PPI network, cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AGTR1) had a higher degree, and CYP3A4 interacted with CYP4A11. The DEGs in the network were significantly enriched in drug metabolism, focal adhesion and arachidonic acid metabolism. Furthermore, in the miRNA-DEG regulatory network, hsa-miR-335-5p and hsa-miR-26b-5p were the two most outstanding miRNAs. AGTR1, CYP3A4 and CYP4A11 were predicted to be regulated by hsa-miR-26b-5p.

conclusionThe DEGs, such as AGTR1, CYP3A4 and CYP4A11 may play critical roles in the development of HTN likely via the regulation by hsa-miR-26b-5p and taking part in some pathways.
