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

Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) considered the primary irreversible cause of chronic kidney disease. Recently, accumulating studies demonstrated that lncRNAs play an important role in the pathogenesis of RIF. However, the underlying exact mechanism of lncRNA MALAT1 in RIF remains barely known. Here, the aim of our study was to investigate the dysregulate expression of lncRNA MALAT1 in TGF-β1 treated HK2/NRK-49F cells and unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mice model, defining its effects on HK2/NRK-49F cells and UUO mice fibrosis process through the miR-124-3p/ITGB1 signaling axis. It was found that lncRNA MALAT1 and ITGB1 was significantly overexpression, while miR-124-3p was downregulated in HK2/NRK-49F cells induced by TGF-β1 and in UUO mice model. Moreover, knockdown of lncRNA MALAT1 remarkably downregulated the proteins level of fibrosis-related markers, ITGB1, and upregulated the expression of epithelial marker E-cadherin. Consistently, mechanistic studies showed that miR-124-3p can directly binds to lncRNA MALAT1 and ITGB1. And the protect effect of Len-sh-MALAT1 on fibrosis related protein levels could be partially reversed by co-transfected with inhibitor-miR-124-3p. Moreover, the expression trend of LncRNA MALAT1/miR-124-3p/ITGB1 in renal tissues of patients with obstructive nephropathy (ON) was consistent with the results of cell and animal experiments. Taken together, these results indicated that lncRNA MALAT1 could promote RIF process in vitro and in vivo via the miR-124-3p/ITGB1 signaling pathway. These findings suggest a new regulatory pathway involving lncRNA MALAT1, which probably serves as a potential therapeutic target for RIF.
