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

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a key microvascular complication of diabetes, with few therapies for targeting renal disease pathogenesis and progression. We performed transcriptional and protein studies on 103 unique blood and kidney tissue samples from patients with and without diabetes to understand the pathophysiology of DKD injury and its progression. The study was based on the use of 3 unique patient cohorts: peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) transcriptional studies were conducted on 30 patients with DKD with advancing kidney injury; Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data was downloaded, containing transcriptional measures from 51 microdissected glomerulous from patients with DKD. Additionally, 12 independent kidney tissue sections from patients with or without DKD were used for validation of target genes in diabetic kidney injury by kidney tissue immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. PBMC DKD transcriptional analysis, identified 853 genes (p < 0.05) with increasing expression with progression of albuminuria and kidney injury in patients with diabetes. GEO data was downloaded, normalized, and analyzed for significantly changed genes. Of the 325 significantly up regulated genes in DKD glomerulous (p < 0.05), 28 overlapped in PBMC and diabetic kidney, with perturbed FcER1 signaling as a significantly enriched canonical pathway.
