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

The hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (Hif1α) represents the master transcription factor coordinating cellular responses to oxygen depletion. With hundreds of target genes it plays a key role in numerous bio-medical conditions as well as neoplastic and non-cancerous diseases, which in turn requires a strict regulation. Long non-coding RNAs have the potential to virtually control every step of gene expression. We aimed to investigate the expression and role of HIF1A antisense lncRNAs HIF1A-AS1, AS2, and AS3 under hyperglycemic, hypoxic, or both conditions in three non-cancerous human renal cell types: HK-2 cells, primary RPTECs, and mesangial cells. We observed that HIF1A-AS2 and AS3 expression was upregulated under oxygen deprivation. Furthermore, knockdown (KD) of HIF1A-AS3 resulted in a significant reduction of HIF1A-AS2 and even more important of Hif1α in HK-2 cells but not mesangial cells. While KD of HIF1A also had a diminishing effect on HIF1A-AS2 and AS3 RNA levels, KD of HIF1A-AS2 only affected HIF1A-AS3 but not HIF1A. Treating HK-2 cells with Actinomycin D revealed a high HIF1A-AS3 RNA stability. In conclusion, our data reveal a cell-type specific effect of HIF1A-AS3 on HIF1A RNA and protein expression which might allow the development of a cell-type specific HIF1A antagonist based on lncRNAs.
