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

NLRP3, a decisive role in inflammation regulation, is obviously upregulated by oxidative stress in kidney injury. The NLRP3 upregulation leads to unsolved inflammation and other pathological effects, contributing to aggravation of kidney injury and even transition to chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the mechanism for NLRP3 upregulation and further aggravation of kidney injury remains largely elusive. In this study, we found NLRP3 3'UTR was shortened in response to kidney injury in vivo and oxidative stress in vitro. Functionally, such NLRP3 3'UTR shortening upregulated NLRP3 expression and amplified inflammation, fibrogenesis, ROS production and apoptosis, depending on stabilizing NLRP3 mRNA. Mechanistically, FIP1 was found to bind to pPAS of NLRP3 mRNA via its arginine-rich domain and to induce NLRP3 3'UTR shortening. In addition, FIP1 was upregulated in CKD specimens and negatively associated with renal function of CKD patients. More importantly, we found FIP1 was upregulated by oxidative stress and required for oxidative stress-induced NLRP3 upregulation, inflammation activation, cell damage and apoptosis. Finally, we proved that FIP1 silencing attenuated the inflammation activation, fibrogenesis, ROS production and apoptosis induced by UUO or IRI. Taken together, our results demonstrated that oxidative stress-upregulated FIP1 amplified inflammation, fibrogenesis, ROS production and apoptosis via inducing 3'UTR shortening of NLRP3, highlighting the importance of crosstalk between oxidative stress and alternative polyadenylation in AKI-CKD transition, as well as the therapeutic potential of FIP1 in kidney injury treatment.
