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

Our study investigated the role of Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 (MBD2) in RM-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) both in vitro and in vivo. MBD2 was induced by myoglobin in BUMPT cells and by glycerol in mice. MBD2 inhibition via MBD2 small interfering RNA and MBD2-knockout (KO) attenuated RM-induced AKI and renal cell apoptosis. The expression of TOX high mobility group box family member 4 (Tox4) induced by myoglobin was markedly reduced in MBD2-KO mice. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis indicated that MBD2 directly bound to CpG islands in the Tox4 promoter region, thus preventing promoter methylation. Furthermore, siRNA inhibition of Tox4 attenuated myoglobin-induced apoptosis in BUMPT cells. Finally, MBD2-KO mice exhibited glycerol-induced renal cell apoptosis by inactivation of Tox4. Altogether, our results suggested that MBD2 plays a role in RM-induced AKI via the activation of Tox4 and represents a potential target for treatment of RM-associated AKI.
