Glucocorticoid- and pioglitazone-induced proteinuria reduction in experimental NS both correlate with glomerular ECM modulation.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a common glomerular disease. Although glucocorticoids (GC) are the primary treatment, the PPARγ agonist pioglitazone (Pio) also reduces proteinuria in patients with NS and directly protects podocytes from injury. Because both drugs reduce proteinuria, we hypothesized these effects result from overlapping transcriptional patterns. Systems biology approaches compared glomerular transcriptomes from rats with PAN-induced NS treated with GC vs. Pio and identified 29 commonly regulated genes-of-interest, primarily involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Correlation with clinical idiopathic NS patient datasets confirmed glomerular ECM dysregulation as a potential mechanism of injury. Cellular deconvolution
