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

purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the mechanism by which miR-29c expression in fibroblasts regulates renal interstitial fibrosis.

methodsWe stimulated NRK-49F cells with TGF-β1 to mimic the effects of fibrosis

resultsIn the present study, TGF-β1 was demonstrated to regulate miR-29c expression through Wnt/β-catenin signaling. In contrast, miR-29c appears to inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by suppressing TPM1 expression. As suggested by this feedback mechanism, miR-29c may be a key fibrosis-related microRNA expressed by fibroblasts in TGF-β1/Wnt/β-catenin-driven renal fibrosis, and manipulation of miR-29c action may accordingly offer a potential therapeutic pathway for renal fibrosis treatment.

conclusionMiR-29c expression was downregulated in UUO mouse kidneys as well as TGF-β1-treated NRK-49F cells, which thus inhibits myofibroblast formation via targeting of TPM1. Additionally, the production of extracellular matrix (ECM) in renal fibroblasts appears to be controlled by the reciprocal regulation of miR-29c action and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
