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

backgroundProteinuria is a sensitive hallmark for progressive renal dysfunction. Transgelin (TAGLN) has been demonstrated to participate in etiology of proteinuria and dynamics of podocyte foot process; however, the mechanism of TAGLN involvement in proteinuria is unknown. The present study aimed to explore the roles of TAGLN in the development of proteinuria.

methodsDifferentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected from microarray expression profiling datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus, and analyzed by the short time series expression miner to cluster the DEGs in proteinuria progression. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis was used to determine the top 20 enriched pathways, and construct a gene interaction network.

resultsIn total, 2,409 DEGs for nephropathy and 10,612 DEGs for podocyte foot process and proteinuria were detected. Additionally, 76 common DEGs (25 upregulated and 41 downregulated) between nephropathy and podocyte foot process were primarily involved in innate immunity, positive regulation of transcription-DNA-templated, immunity and negative regulation of cell proliferation, enriched in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, axon guidance, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway and apoptosis.

conclusionsWe discovered a TAGLN-mediated regulatory network involved in proteinuria progression. These findings provide novel insight to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of proteinuria.
