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 a serious kidney disease resulted from diabetes. Dys-regulated proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation in mesangial cells contribute to DN progression. In this study, we tested expression level of MIAT in DN patients and mesangial cells treated by high glucose (HG). Up-regulation of MIAT was observed in DN. Then, functional assays displayed that silence of MIAT by siRNA significantly repressed the proliferation and cycle progression in mesangial cells induced by HG. Meanwhile, we found that collagen IV, fibronectin and TGF-β1 protein expression was obviously triggered by HG, which could be rescued by loss of MIAT. Then, further assessment indicated that MIAT served as sponge harbouring miR-147a. Moreover, miR-147a was decreased in DN, which exhibited an antagonistic effect of MIAT on modulating mesangial cell proliferation and fibrosis. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis displayed that E2F transcription factor 3 (E2F3) could act as direct target of miR-147a. We demonstrated that E2F3 was greatly increased in DN and the direct binding association between miR-147a and E2F3 was evidenced using luciferase reporter assay. In summary, our data explored the underlying mechanism of DN pathogenesis validated that MIAT induced mesangial cell proliferation and fibrosis via sponging miR-147a and regulating E2F3.
