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

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is considered an important factor in the formation of fibrosis. Therefore, modulation of ER stress may represent a promising therapeutic strategy in renal fibrosis. MiR-185-5p has been identified to be implicated in TGF-β1-induced renal fibrosis; however, it is largely unknown whether and how miR-185-5p regulates ER stress in renal fibrosis. In this study, we demonstrated that miR-185-5p directly bound to ATF6, an ER stress-related protein, and downregulated the expression thereof. We subsequently constructed an in vitro model of renal fibrosis using HK2 cells treated with TGF-β1, and found that miR-185-5p attenuated ER stress and dedifferentiation of tubular epithelia by suppression of ATF6. In addition, we constructed an in vivo mouse model using unilateral urethral obstruction (UUO). Our in vivo findings showed that miR-185-5p reduced the expression of ER stress-related proteins and inhibited epithelial dedifferentiation via downregulation of ATF6, thereby improving UUO-induced renal fibrosis. Overall, our findings revealed that miR-185-5p exerts beneficial effects in renal fibrosis. Thus, the miR-185-5p/ATF6 regulatory pathway may be a potential target for therapeutic intervention in renal fibrosis.
