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

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome caused by various etiologies and causes a rapid decline in renal function in a short period of time. The most common internal modification of mRNAs is the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, which is important for controlling gene expressions. However, the role of m6A modification in AKI is largely unknown. Here, we characterized the role of zinc finger CCCH-type containing 13 (ZC3H13), which is a type of m6A methyltransferases, in cisplatin-induced AKI mouse model and a cisplatin-treated human proximal tubular epithelial cell line (HK2 cells). The ZC3H13 knockdown attenuated the G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in HK2 cells. In the ZC3H13-overexpressed HK2 cells, the opposite was true. In the presence of cisplatin, mice with the AAV9-mediated silencing of ZC3H13 exhibited milder cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and renal injury. In addition, we identified nucleic acid binding protein 1 (NABP1) as a target of ZC3H13, which was verified by knocking down and overexpressing ZC3H13 in HK2 cells. Moreover, we confirmed that the ZC3H13-mediated m6A modification stabilized NABP1 mRNA and was discriminated by insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1). In conclusion, ZC3H13 promoted the m6A modification of NABP1 and enhanced its mRNA stability through an IGF2BP1-dependent mechanism. The inhibition of ZC3H13 alleviated the G2/M cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and kidney injury by affecting the expression of NABP1. These results show that the ZC3H13/NABP1 axis is a promising AKI treatment target.
