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

Childhood obesity has become a global epidemic. Recent epidemiological data suggest that obesity is associated with increased risk of renal injury in children. The onset of obesity-associated renal disease is insidious and asymptomatic, so early markers will be extremely useful in its prevention and treatment. Biomarker discovery can be focused on unbiased or biased (candidate) approaches. Unbiased approaches using innovative technologies, such as proteomics and metabolomics, have uncovered candidates that are emerging as plausible biomarkers for such renal disorders as obstructive uropathy and diabetic nephropathy. Biased approaches are based on hypotheses related to glomerular or tubular injury pathophysiology in obesity. Goknar et al. (Pediatric Nephrology 2014; doi: 10.1007/s00467-014-2829-0 ) recently evaluated early urine renal injury markers, namely, microalbuminuria, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and kidney injury molecule (KIM)-1, in obese children. They reported that obese children had higher urinary NAG and KIM-1 levels than healthy controls. Longitudinal observation studies are needed to evaluate whether these tubular damage markers are useful as early markers of renal injury in obese children.
