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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the commonest microvascular complications of diabetes and has been the major cause of end-stage renal disease in many countries. It is of great clinical significance to further explore more efficacious therapeutic strategies for DN. This study aims to explore the effect of Blnc1 on renal fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy.

methodsIn this study, mRNA level of Blnc1 was examined by RT-PCR. HE staining and Masson staining were adopted to detect kidney damage and renal fibrosis. The renal fibrosis was evaluated by the levels of PTEN, fibronectin, collagen I and collagen IV with immunofluorescence assay and western blot analysis. Oxidative Stress and inflammatory response were detected by ELISA assay. At the same time, western blot was performed to detect the proteins related to NRF2/HO-1 and NF-κB pathways.

resultsBlnc1 has higher expression in serum of DN patients, STZ-induced DN model and HG-induced HK2 cells. Blnc1 interference significantly attenuated renal fibrosis, inflammation and oxidative stress via NRF2/HO-1 and NF-κB pathways.

conclusionOur present study suggested that Blnc1 can affect inflammation, oxidative stress and renal fibrosis by Nrf2/HO-1 and NF-κB pathways in DN.
