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

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is increasingly identified as a crucial risk factor for progression to CKD. However, the factors governing AKI to CKD progression remain largely unknown. By high-throughput RNA sequencing, we found that Neat1_2, a transcript variant of Neat1, was upregulated in 40-min ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), which resulted in the development of renal fibrotic lesions. The upregulation of Neat1_2 in hypoxia-treated TECs was attributed to p53 transcriptional regulation. Gain- and loss-of-function studies, both in vitro and in vivo, demonstrated that Neat1_2 promoted apoptosis of injured TECs induced by IRI and caused tubulointerstitial inflammation and fibrosis. Mechanistically, Neat1_2 shares miRNA response elements with FADD, CASP-8, and CASP-3. Neat1_2 competitively binds to miR-129-5p and prevents miR-129-5p from decreasing the levels of FADD, CASP-8, and CASP-3, and ultimately facilitates TEC apoptosis. Increased expression of Neat1_2 associated with kidney injury and TEC apoptosis was recapitulated in human AKI, highlighting its clinical relevance. These findings suggest that preventing TEC apoptosis by hindering Neat1_2 expression may be a potential therapeutic strategy for AKI to CKD progression.
