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

Rationale & Objective: Diabetic kidney diseases (DKDs) are the most common cause of dialysis-dependent kidney disease around the world. Previous studies have suggested that urinary level of podocyte-associated molecules may predict the prognosis of DKD. Study Design: Observational cohort. Setting & Participants: 118 consecutive patients with biopsy-proven DKD; 13 nondiabetic patients with hypertensive nephrosclerosis as controls. Predictors: Urinary podocalyxin and podocin levels were obtained by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the corresponding intrarenal levels by western blotting. Outcomes: Dialysis-free survival; kidney event-free survival; rate of kidney function decline in 12 months. Analytical Approach: Correlation and time to event analysis. Results: Urinary podocalyxin level was closely correlated with its messenger RNA (mRNA) level ( Limitations: Small sample size; lack of serial measurement. Conclusions: Intrarenal podocalyxin level, but not its urinary level, was an independent predictor of dialysis-free survival, whereas urinary podocin level by ELISA correlated with the rate of kidney function decline. Although intrarenal podocalyxin level has prognostic value, it may not be suitable for routine clinical use.
