Changes in tubular biomarkers with dietary intervention and metformin in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: a post-hoc analysis of two clinical trials.
Trial report in BMC nephrology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTubular biomarkers, which reflect tubular dysfunction or injury, are associated with incident chronic kidney disease and kidney function decline. Several tubular biomarkers have also been implicated in the progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We evaluated changes in multiple tubular biomarkers in four groups of patients with ADPKD who participated in one of two clinical trials (metformin therapy and diet-induced weight loss), based on evidence suggesting that such interventions could reduce tubule injury.
methods66 participants (26 M/40 F) with ADPKD and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 30 ml/min/1.73m
resultsMean ± s.d. age was 48 ± 8 years, eGFR was 71 ± 16 ml/min/1.73m
conclusionsTubular biomarkers did not change with dietary-induced weight loss or metformin, nor did they associate with kidney disease progression, in this cohort of patients with ADPKD.
