Prediction Value of Serum NGAL in the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Experimental Acute and Chronic Kidney Injuries.
Article in Biomolecules, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers.
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.
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
Sensitive and accurate serum biomarkers for monitoring acute and chronic kidney disease progression are more convenient and can better evaluate drug efficiency in pharmacological research. Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin (NGAL) is considered a hopeful early biomarker of acute kidney injury (AKI), but its utility in early prediction and prognosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and immune-mediated glomerulonephritis is still not clear. Moreover, detailed prognosis studies of NGAL in AKI are lacking, and most studies use a urine source. In the current study, through two experimental AKI and two chronic kidney injury animal models, serum NGAL (sNGAL) prediction values on diagnosis and prognosis of kidney injuries in animal disease models have been investigated thoroughly. Four experimental kidney disease models include cisplatin-induced and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced AKI, streptozocin-induced diabetic nephropathy (DN), and cationized-bovine serum albumin (c-BSA)-induced membranous nephropathy (MN), respectively. The sNGAL concentration was measured at different stages of kidney injury (KI) in each experimental model, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were performed to investigate the diagnosis efficiency of sNGAL for KI. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to measure the protein levels in the kidneys, and pathological analysis was used as the gold standard to confirm KI. Results suggest that sNGAL can predict early diagnosis of cisplatin-induced AKI accurately but is less powerful in later stages compared to blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr). sNGAL is sensitive but lacks specificity to evaluate early kidney injury for LPS-induced AKI under low-dosage LPS challenge. sNGAL is not an efficient biomarker for early diagnosis of STZ-induced DN, but sNGAL is an efficient predictor for the early diagnosis and prognosis of immune-mediated MN. In conclusion, application of sNGAL as a kidney injury biomarker to determine the diagnosis and prognosis in pharmacological studies is dependent on experimental animal models.
