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

objectiveDiabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most common chronic microvascular complications of diabetes; however, there remains a lack of effective therapeutic strategies. Yi Shen Pai Du Formula (YSPDF), a traditional Chinese medicine preparation, has been clinically used in treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) for more than 20 years. However, whether YSPDF has a therapeutic effect on DKD has not been studied.

methodsThis study was conducted to investigate the effect of YSPDF administration on

resultsWe found that YSPDF significantly improved numerous biochemical parameters (fasting blood glucose, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, 24 h urine total protein, total cholesterol, and total triglycerides) and ameliorated the abnormal histology and fibrosis of renal tissue. Moreover, the status of oxidative stress and levels of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-

conclusionOur study indicates that YSPDF may ameliorate renal damage in
