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

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), a common disease with a high incidence ratio of between 1/400 and 1/1,000 individuals, often results in kidney failure and even mortality. However, there are relatively few effective treatments available, and treatment is limited to lifelong hemodialysis or kidney transplant. Our previous studies have reported that curcumin (Cur) and ginkgolide B (GB) inhibited cystogenesis by regulating the Ras/ERK MAPK signaling pathway. In the present study, it was hypothesized that Cur and GB may have a synergistic effect on the inhibition of cystogenesis, and their synergistic effect may be the result of regulation of multiple signaling pathways. To assess this hypothesis, an
