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 the major cause of end stage renal disease. Proximal tubular epithelial cell (PTEC) injury occurs early in diabetic kidney, and it is correlated with consequent renal failure. Cellular senescence participates in the pathophysiology of DN, but its role remains unclear. We conducted a cross-disciplinary study, including human, in vivo, and in vitro studies, to explore the novel molecular mechanisms of PTEC senescence in DN. We found that HG induced cell senescence in PTECs, supported by enhanced β-galactosidase staining, p53 and p27 expression, and reduced cyclin E levels. Transcriptome analysis of PTECs from a type 2 diabetic patient and a normal individual using next generation sequencing (NGS) and systematic bioinformatics analyses indicated that miR-378i and its downstream target S-phase kinase protein 2 (Skp2) contribute to HG-induced senescence in PTECs. High glucose (HG) elevated miR-378i expression in PTECs, and miR-378i transfection reduced Skp2 expression. Urinary miR-378i levels were elevated in both db/db mice and type 2 diabetic patients, whereas decreased Skp2 levels were shown in proximal tubule of db/db mice and human DN. Moreover, urinary miR-378i levels were positively correlated with urinary senescence-associated secretory phenotype cytokines and renal function in in vivo and human study. This study demonstrates that the interaction between miR-378i and Skp2 regulates PTEC senescence of DN. miR-378i has the potential to predict renal injury in DN. These findings suggest future applications in both therapy and in predicting renal dysfunction of DN.
