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

Renal fibrosis leads to end-stage renal disease, but antifibrotic drugs are difficult to develop. Chronic kidney disease often results in muscle wasting, and thereby increases morbidity and mortality. In this work, adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated overexpressing miR-29a was hypothesized to counteract renal fibrosis and muscle wasting through muscle-kidney crosstalk in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mice. miR-29a level was downregulated in the kidney and skeletal muscle of UUO mice. The secretion of exosome-encapsulated miR-29a increased in cultured skeletal muscle satellite cells and HEK293 renal cells after stimulation with serum from UUO mice. This result was confirmed by qPCR and microRNA deep sequencing in the serum exosomes of mice with obstructed ureters. A recombinant AAV-miR-29a was generated to overexpress miR-29a and injected into the tibialis anterior muscle of the mice 2 weeks before UUO surgery. AAV-miR-29a abrogated the UUO-induced upregulation of YY1 and myostatin in skeletal muscles. Renal fibrosis was also partially improved in the UUO mice with intramuscular AAV-miR-29a transduction. AAV-miR-29a overexpression reversed the increase in transforming growth factor β, fibronectin, alpha-smooth muscle actin, and collagen 1A1 and 4A1 levels in the kidney of UUO mice. AAV-green fluorescent protein was applied to trace the AAV route
