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

We aimed to evaluate the functions of long non-coding RNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (lncRNA TUG1) in renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and identify the potential mechanisms. Pathological changes of renal tissues were examined using H&E staining after mimic renal I/R injury in vivo. The contents of serum renal functional parameters and inflammatory factors were measured. The expression of TUG1 and miR-449b-5p in renal tissues and HK-2 cells stimulated by I/R were detected. Then, the effects of TUG1 silencing on inflammation and apoptosis of cells were evaluated. Dual luciferase reporter assays were executed for determining the correlation between miR-449b-5p and TUG1, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), or matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2). Subsequently, cells were co-transfected with miR-449b-5p mimic and pcDNA3.1 TUG1. The levels of inflammation, apoptosis, and the expression of HMGB1 and MMP2 were detected. The results revealed that renal tissues were obviously damaged after I/R accompanied by changes in renal functional markers and inflammatory factors. TUG1 was highly expressed whereas miR-449b-5p was lowly expressed. TUG1 silencing reduced the inflammation and apoptosis. Dual luciferase reporter assays confirmed that miR-449b-5p was a target of TUG1 as well as HMGB1 and MMP2 were direct targets of miR-449b-5p. Meanwhile, miR-449b-5p mimic presented the same results with TUG1 silencing, which were reversed after TUG1 overexpression. Moreover, MMP2 and HMGB1 expression was decreased after miR-449b-5p overexpression while that of was increased after TUG1 overexpression. These findings demonstrated that TUG1 silencing attenuates I/R-induced inflammation and apoptosis via targeting miR-449b-5p and regulating HMGB1 and MMP2 expression.
