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

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most devastating complications of diabetes mellitus. Carbohydrate response element binding protein (ChREBP) is a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factor that primarily mediates glucose homeostasis in the body. The present study investigated the role of ChREBP in the pathogenesis of DN. The expression of ChREBP was detected in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), diabetic mice, and mesangial cells. ELISA was used to measure cytokine production in mesangial cells. Flow cytometry analysis was performed to detect the apoptosis of mesangial cells in the presence of high glucose. The expression levels of ChREBP and several cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) were up-regulated in T2DM patients. The mRNA and protein levels of ChREBP were also significantly elevated in the kidneys of diabetic mice. Moreover, glucose treatment promoted mRNA levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in mesangial cells. Glucose stimulation induced significant apoptosis of SV40 MES 13 cells. In addition, transfection with ChREBP siRNA significantly inhibited ChREBP expression. Consequently, the inflammatory responses and apoptosis were inhibited in SV40 MES 13 cells. These results demonstrated that ChREBP could mediate the inflammatory response and apoptosis of mesangial cells, suggesting that ChREBP may be involved in the pathogenesis of DN.
