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

Dysfunction of podocytes has been regarded as an important early pathologic characteristic of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), but the regulatory role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in this process remains largely unknown. Here, we performed RNA sequencing in kidney tissues isolated from DKD patients and nondiabetic renal cancer patients undergoing surgical resection and discovered that the novel lncRNA ENST00000436340 was upregulated in DKD patients and high glucose-induced podocytes, and we showed a significant correlation between ENST00000436340 and kidney injury. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments showed that silencing ENST00000436340 alleviated high glucose-induced podocyte injury and cytoskeleton rearrangement. Mechanistically, we showed that fat mass and obesity- associate gene (FTO)-mediated m6A induced the upregulation of ENST00000436340. ENST00000436340 interacted with polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 (PTBP1) and augmented PTBP1 binding to RAB3B mRNA, promoted RAB3B mRNA degradation, and thereby caused cytoskeleton rearrangement and inhibition of GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane, leading to podocyte injury and DKD progression. Together, our results suggested that upregulation of ENST00000436340 could promote podocyte injury through PTBP1-dependent RAB3B regulation, thus suggesting a novel form of lncRNA-mediated epigenetic regulation of podocytes that contributes to the pathogenesis of DKD.
