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 severe complication of diabetes mellitus and lipid metabolism abnormality serves a key role in the pathogenesis of DN. Sterol regulatory element‑binding protein 1 (SREBP‑1) overexpression mediates aberrant lipid accumulation in renal tubular cells of DN. However, the exact mechanism involved in increased SREBP‑1 has not been fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to explore the mechanism involved in SREBP‑1 upregulation. Diabetic mice and high glucose‑cultured HKC cells were chosen to detect the expression of FBXW7 and SREBP‑1 using immunohistochemistry, western blotting and PCR. The present study demonstrated that F‑box and WD repeat domain containing 7 (FBXW7) expression was decreased in renal tubular cells of diabetic mice. Moreover, the co‑expression of FBXW7 and SREBP‑1 was observed in renal tubular cells, but not in the glomeruli. High glucose‑induced the downregulation of FBXW7 expression in in vitro cultured HKC cells, which was accompanied by SREBP‑1 upregulation. In addition, overexpression of FBXW7 in HKC cells led to SREBP‑1 downregulation. By contrast, knockdown of FBXW7 caused SREBP‑1 upregulation in HKC cells. It was found that the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was activated in high glucose‑stimulated HKC cells, and inhibition of PI3K/Akt pathway using LY294002 increased FBXW7 expression and decreased SREBP‑1 expression. Taken together, the present results suggested that FBXW7 mediated high glucose‑induced SREBP‑1 expression in renal tubular cells of DN, under the regulation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
