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

Exosomes have been implicated in diabetic kidney disease (DKD), but the regulation of exosomes in DKD is largely unknown. Here, we have verified the decrease of exosome secretion in DKD and unveiled the underlying mechanism. In Boston University mouse proximal tubule (BUMPT) cells, high-glucose (HG) treatment led to a significant decrease in exosome secretion, which was associated with specific downregulation of RAB27B, a key guanosine-5'-triphosphatase in exosome secretion. Overexpression of RAB27B restored exosome secretion in HG-treated cells, suggesting a role of RAB27B downregulation in the decrease of exosome secretion in DKD. To understand the mechanism of RAB27B downregulation, we conducted bioinformatics analysis that identified FOXO1 binding sites in the Rab27b gene promoter. Consistently, HG induced phosphorylation of FOXO1 in BUMPT cells, preventing FOXO1 accumulation and activation in the nucleus. Overexpression of nonphosphorylatable, constitutively active FOXO1 led to the upregulation of RAB27B and an increase in exosome secretion in HG-treated cells. In vivo, compared with normal mice, diabetic mice showed increased FOXO1 phosphorylation, decreased RAB27B expression, and reduced exosome secretion. Collectively, these results unveil the mechanism of exosome dysfunction in DKD where FOXO1 is phosphorylated and inactivated in DKD, resulting in RAB27B downregulation and the decrease of exosome secretion.
