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

Renal ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) is a major cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRBP) may contribute to AKI because its deficiency protects against renal IR injury in a mechanism believed to involve ferroptosis. We aimed to investigate whether ferroptosis is associated with CIRBP-mediated renal damage. The differential expression of CIRBP was examined in tubular epithelial (HK2) cells during hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR) or in response to erastin, an inducer of ferroptosis. CIRBP expression was increased in response to HR or erastin in HK2 cells but the silencing of CIRBP inhibited HR and erastin-induced ferroptosis together with ferritinophagy. We discovered an interaction between CIRBP and ELAVL1 using STRING software, which was verified through co-immunoprecipitation and fluorescence colocalization assays. We found that ELAVL1 is a critical regulator in the activation of ferritinophagy and the promotion of ferroptosis. HR or erastin also induced the expression of ELAVL1. An autophagy inhibitor (hydroxychloroquine) or si-ELAVL1 transfection reversed CIRBP-enhanced ferritinophagy activation and ferroptosis in HK2 cells under HR. Injection of anti-CIRBP antibody into a mouse model of IR inhibited ferroptosis and decreased renal IR injury in vivo. In summary, our results provide evidence that ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis could be responsible for CIRBP-enhanced renal IR injury.
