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

The latest meta-analysis of genome-wide linkage studies (GWLS) identified nine cytogenetic locations suggestive of a linkage with diabetic nephropathy (DN) due to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and seven locations due to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In order to gain biological insight about the functional role of the genes located in these regions and to prioritize the most significant genetic loci for further research, we conducted a gene ontology analysis with an over representation test for the functional annotation of the protein coding genes. Protein analysis through evolutionary relationships (PANTHER) version 16.0 software and Cytoscape with the relevant plugins were used for the gene ontology analysis, and the overrepresentation test and STRING database were used for the construction of the protein network. The findings of the over-representation test highlight the contribution of immune related molecules like immunoglobulins, cytokines, and chemokines with regard to the most overrepresented protein classes, whereas the most enriched signaling pathways include the VEGF signaling pathway, the Cadherin pathway, the Wnt pathway, the angiogenesis pathway, the p38 MAPK pathway, and the EGF receptor signaling pathway. The common section of T1DM and T2DM results include the significant over representation of immune related molecules, and the Cadherin and Wnt signaling pathways that could constitute potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of DN, irrespective of the type of diabetes.
