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

backgroundDanggui Buxue Tang (DBT), a traditional Chinese medicine decoction, has been proven to have satisfactory effects on treating diabetic nephropathy (DN). In this study, we explored the potential underlying mechanism of DBT in DN treatment.

methodsThe DBT-containning serum was prepared by intragastric administration with DBT for rats. The levels of fibronectin (FN), laminin (LN) and collagen IV (COL IV) and TGF-β1 protein secreted in cell culture medium were determined by ELISA assay. The mRNA and protein expression of related molecule was measured using qRT-PCR and western blotting. MTT assay was applied to test MCs proliferation.

resultsDBT has a negative effect on the high glucose (HG)-induced proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation of mesangial cells (MCs). Further research showed that DBT reduced the acetylation level of histone H3 at the site of PVT1 promoter to promote PVT1 downregulation, which was accompanied by a decrease in TGF-β and c-myc expression. Moreover, PVT1 overexpression significantly enhanced cell viability and promoted the expression levels of TGF-β1 and c-myc. Furthermore, PVT1 overexpression significantly reversed the inhibition of DBT on HG-induced cell viability and ECM accumulation and also lifted the effect of DBT on TGF-β1 and c-myc expression.

conclusionDBT inhibited TGF-β1 and c-myc expression through downregulating PVT1, and thus attenuated MCs excessive proliferation and ECM accumulation in DN.
