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

Ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) is one of the leading causes of acute kidney injury (AKI) that typically occurs in renal surgeries. However, renal I/R still currently lacks effective therapeutic targets. In this study, we proved that inhibition of Brd4 with its selective inhibitor, JQ1, could exert a protective role in renal I/R injury in mice. Inhibiting Brd4 with either JQ1 or genetic knockdown resulted in reduction of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-associated protein and proapoptotic protein expression both in I/R-induced injury and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) stimulation in HK-2 cells. H/R-induced apoptosis and ERS depended on oxidative stress in vitro. Moreover, FoxO4, which is involved in the generation of hydrogen peroxide, was up-regulated during H/R stimulation-mediated apoptosis and ERS, and this upregulation could be abolished by Brd4 inhibition. Consistently, FoxO4-mediated ROS generation was attenuated upon inhibition of Brd4 with JQ1 or siRNA against Brd4. Further, the transcriptional activity of FoxO4 was suppressed by PI3K and AKT phosphorylation, which are upstream signals of FoxO4 expression, and were enhanced by Brd4 both in vivo and in vitro. In conclusion, our results proved that Brd4 inhibition blocked renal apoptotic and ERS protein expression by preventing FoxO4-dependent ROS generation through the PI3K/AKT pathway, indicating that Brd4 could be a potential therapeutic target for renal I/R injury.
