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

This retrospective study investigated whether podocalyxin expression in renal biopsies and urine of patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) is associated with renal function. This retrospective study included 32 patients with nephropathy, secondary to type 2 diabetes treated at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University (January 2010 to January 2015). Compared with the control group, the DN group had a significantly lower renal expression of podocalyxin and higher urinary podocalyxin/creatinine ratio. Patients with DN were divided into the high and low expression groups according to podocalyxin expression in renal tissues. Patients in the low expression group had longer diabetes duration, lower plasma albumin and eGFR, higher glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), 24 h urinary protein, serum creatinine, and urinary podocalyxin/creatinine ratio, and more severe glomerular, tubulointerstitial, and renal interstitial inflammation than patients in the high expression group (all
