Long non-coding RNA lnc-CHAF1B-3 promotes renal interstitial fibrosis by regulating EMT-related genes in renal proximal tubular cells.

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.
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 interstitial fibrosis (RIF) is a common pathological manifestation of chronic kidney diseases. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of tubular epithelial cells is considered a major cause of RIF. Although long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are reportedly involved in various pathophysiological processes, the roles and underlying molecular mechanisms of lncRNAs in the progression of RIF are poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the function of lncRNAs in RIF. Microarray assays showed that expression of the lncRNA lnc-CHAF1B-3 (also called claudin 14 antisense RNA 1) was significantly upregulated in human renal proximal tubular cells by both transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and hypoxic stimulation, accompanied with increased expression of EMT-related genes. Knockdown of lnc-CHAF1B-3 significantly suppressed TGF-β1-induced upregulated expression of collagen type I alpha 1, cadherin-2, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, snail family transcriptional repressor I (SNAI1) and SNAI2. Quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR analyses of paraffin-embedded kidney biopsy samples from IgA nephropathy patients revealed lnc-CHAF1B-3 expression was correlated positively with urinary protein levels and correlated negatively with estimated glomerular filtration rate.
