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

backgroundMicroRNA-29b (miR-29b) has been suggested to possess pro-inflammatory activity, which can partially be explained by the repression of tumor necrosis factor alpha protein three antibody (TNFAIP3). Meanwhile, it also promotes thyroid cell proliferation via Smad signaling pathways. The present study aimed to elucidate the role of miR-29b in Henoch Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) and its underlying molecular mechanism in angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced human glomerular mesangial cell (HGMC) activation.

methodsWe evaluated miR-29b expression in 35 HSPN renal tissues based on crescent formation, glomerular sclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, thrombosis formation and capillary loop necrosis. Meanwhile, HGMCs were cultured, treated with Ang II and then transfected with LV-hsa-miR-29b-1 to induce miR-29b overexpression or LV-hsa-miR-29b-3p-inhibition to inhibit miR-29b expression. Finally, we examined the effects of miR-29b on cell proliferation and release of inflammatory mediators.

resultsWe observed that miR-29b expression was significantly higher in the crescent group than in the no crescent group. MiR-29b overexpression induced the release of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-8, the increase of CyclinA2, CyclinD1, and cell proliferation. It also could inhibit the expressions of TNFAIP3 and NF-kappa-B-repressing factor (NKRF). Correspondingly, miR-29b inhibition produced the opposite effects and increased the expression of TNFAIP3 and NKRF.

conclusionMiR-29b expression is altered in crescent formation of HSPN and accelerates Ang II-induced mesangial cell proliferation and release of inflammatory mediators.
