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

High-mobility group protein B2 (HMGB2) has been confirmed to participate in regulating the process of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the more roles and mechanisms of HMGB2 in myocardial I/R injury need to be further revealed. Cardiomyocytes (HL-1) were cultured under hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) conditions, and myocardial I/R injury mouse model was established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The protein levels of HMGB2 and kruppel-like factor 9 (KLF9) were determined by western blot. Cell viability and apoptosis were examined by CCK8 assay and flow cytometry. The levels of inflammatory factors and ferroptosis-related markers were tested to assess cell inflammation and ferroptosis. The interaction between KLF9 and HMGB2 promoter was evaluated by ChIP assay and dual-luciferase reporter assay. HMGB2 was higher expressed in H/R-induced HL-1 cells and its silencing could suppress H/R-induced HL-1 cell apoptosis, inflammation, and ferroptosis. KLF9 had binding sites in HMGB2 promoter region, which could increase HMGB2 expression by enhancing its transcription. Silencing of KLF9 inhibited H/R-induced HL-1 cell apoptosis, inflammation, and ferroptosis, while these effects were reversed by overexpressing HMGB2. In addition, animal study revealed that interference of KLF9 alleviated myocardial tissues damage and fibrosis in I/R injury mice models by reducing HMGB2 expression. Collectively, our study indicated that KLF9 promoted myocardial I/R injury by aggravating cardiomyocyte apoptosis, inflammation, and ferroptosis through promoting HMGB2 transcription.
