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

backgroundRenal inflammation plays a crucial role during the progression of Chronic kidney disease (CKD), but there is limited research on hub genes involved in renal inflammation. Here, we aimed to explore the effects of Annexin A2 (ANXA2), a potential inflammatory regulator, on gene expression in human proximal tubular epithelial (HK2) cells. RNA-sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were performed on ANXA2-knockdown versus control HK2 cells to reveal the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and regulated alternative splicing events (RASEs). Then the DEGs and RASEs were validated by qRT-PCR.

resultsA total of 220 upregulated and 171 downregulated genes related to ANXA2 knockdown were identified. Genes enriched in inflammatory response pathways, such as interferon-mediated signaling, cytokine-mediated signaling, and nuclear factor κB signaling, were under global transcriptional and alternative splicing regulation by ANXA2 knockdown. qRT-PCR confirmed ANXA2-regulated transcription of chemokine gene CCL5, as well as interferon-regulating genes ISG15, IFI6, IFI44, IFITM1, and IRF7, in addition to alternative splicing of inflammatory genes UBA52, RBCK1, and LITAF.

conclusionsThe present study indicated that ANXA2 plays a role in inflammatory response in HK2 cells that may be mediated via the regulation of transcription and alternative splicing of inflammation-related genes.
