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

Although losartan has inhibitory effects on acute kidney injury (AKI), the underlying molecular mechanisms have remained largely unclear. The expressional alteration of circular RNAs (circRNAs) was investigated in the present study to understand the therapeutic effects of losartan against AKI. AKI rat models were established by ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) treatment. Urea and creatinine levels were determined and histological features of kidney tissues examined following hematoxylin and eosin staining. Cell apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL. CircRNA profiles were obtained by RNA-Seq followed by Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses. Expression of circRNAs was validated by quantitative RT-PCR. I/R treatment induced an increase in plasma urea and creatinine levels, abnormal kidney tubular structure, and cell apoptosis in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, which were effectively inhibited by pre-treatment with losartan. Further RNA-Seq analysis revealed a wide range of differentially expressed circRNAs in I/R rat kidneys, which were reversed by losartan pre-treatment. GO and KEGG analyses revealed that the circRNAs are associated with various biological processes, including the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Specifically, circ-Dnmt3a, circ-Akt3, circ-Plekha7, and circ-Me1 were down-regulated in AKI rats and restored by losartan. The current study provides an overview of circRNAs expression profiles based on the inhibitory effects of losartan in ischemic AKI rats.
