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

backgroundDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common causes of end-stage renal disease. Long non-coding RNA cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense RNA 1 (CDKN2B-AS1) is connected with the development of DN, but the role of CDKN2B-AS1 in DN has not been entirely elucidated.

methodsQuantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was carried out to measure CDKN2B-AS1 and miR-98-5p levels. Cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis were analyzed with 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) or flow cytometry assays. Protein levels were measured by western blotting. The relationship between CDKN2B-AS1 or notch homolog 2 (NOTCH2) and miR-98-5p was verified via dual-luciferase reporter assay.

resultsCDKN2B-AS1 and NOTCH2 were upregulated in the serum of DN patients and high glucose-disposed human podocytes (HPCs) and human renal tubular cells (HK-2), whereas miR-98-5p was downregulated. High glucose repressed viability and accelerated apoptosis of HPCs and HK-2 cells. CDKN2B-AS1 knockdown impaired high glucose-induced apoptosis and fibrosis of HPCs and HK-2 cells. Mechanistically, CDKN2B-AS1 sponged miR-98-5p to regulate NOTCH2 expression. Also, CDKN2B-AS1 inhibition-mediated effects on apoptosis and fibrosis of high glucose-disposed HPCs and HK-2 cells were weakened by miR-98-5p inhibitor. Also, NOTCH2 knockdown partly reversed miR-98-5p inhibitor-mediated impacts on apoptosis and fibrosis of high glucose-disposed HPCs and HK-2 cells.

conclusionHigh glucose-induced CDKN2B-AS1 promoted apoptosis and fibrosis via the TGF-β1 signaling mediated by the miR-98-5p/NOTCH2 axis in HPCs and HK-2 cells.
