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

objectiveTo investigate the difference between trimethylation of monocyte histone H3K4 and DNA methylation in acute rejection (AR) after renal transplantation in rats and reveal the epigenetic mechanism of the AR rats based on metabolomics.

methodPeripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated, and CD

resultsAR rats showed an apparent increase in BUN and Cr levels, as well as IL-2, IL-10 and IFN-γ. Compared with non-AR rats, the expression of CD

conclusionH3K4 trimethylation increased in PBMCs in AR rats, while DNA methylation decreased, indicating the presence of epigenetic differences between AR and non-AR rats. Metabolomic studies indicated a significant increase in AR rats in the contents of several metabolites, such as phosphatidylcholines, lysophosphatidylcholine, free fatty acids and carnitine, suggesting an increasein phospholipase activity and leading to an energy metabolism imbalance with intensification of β-oxidation. DNA methylation may be associated with an increase in phosphatidylcholines, lysophosphatidylcholine and free fatty acids in AR rats, which may further affect energy metabolism by enhancing the tricarboxylic acid cycle in AR rats.
