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 one of the most important microvascular diseases in diabetic patients and has been the first cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD). In this study, we are aims to investigate the genetic mechanisms of lncRNA in the regulation of DN renal fibrosis. First, we have found that the expression of lncRNA TUG1 in db/db DN mice kidney tissue and high glucose-stimulated NRK-52E cells were down-regulated and the overexpression of lncRNA TUG1 could inhibit cell fibrosis of high glucose-stimulated of NRK-52E. Second, online software program Starbase predicts that miR-21 is a target gene of lncRNA TUG1 and TIMP3 is the target gene of miR-21, which have been verified by luciferase reporter assay and RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation (RIP). Last, the renal fibrosis in DN mice and cell fibrosis in high glucose-stimulated NRK-52E cells were also evaluated. We have proven that overexpression of lncRNA TUG1 can promote the expression of TIMP3 through targeting the miR-21, thereby inhibiting cell fibrosis in high glucose-stimulated NRK-52E cells and renal fibrosis in DN mice. Our results indicated that lncRNA TUG1 could indirectly regulated the expression of TIMP3 by targeting miR-21. LncRNA TUG1 inhibited high glucose-stimulated NRK-52E cell fibrosis and renal fibrosis in DN mice, which provides a theoretical basis for the treatment of DN fibrosis.
